Jo, I just brought it home today from the book shop where I work part time. We can check out books for up to a month, which is a cool deal. I can't wait to get started on it. By the way, I can't remember, did you say you had read "Notes from a Small Island?" If you haven't I suggest that one next.

I betcha old Bill's first instinct, even after 20 years in the UK, is to spell in the colonial manner. He probably learned UK English as a second language. I know I did, when it was required by the company I once worked for. It is easier than Sanskrit.
