In regard to words never to be used in a poem, and the problem of the
Olympics, what I want to know is whether West Bromwich Albion are
still big in China, as they were before the economic boom. If they
are, my faith in human nature will be restored. My admirations to
anyone who knows what I'm talking about here btw!
Not that I'm a Baggies fan, you know.
(In 1822 the British economic growth rate was apparently 26% p.a. Just
thought I'd throw that in.)
