Mr & Mrs stales visited Bath in 1986 - what a pretty and historic place!
Our other memory of Bath is that the McDonald's there had the worst service of any we ate at in Europe!! (As a tongue in cheek "thing" we decided before we left Oz that we'd have a Big Mac in every country we visited). Have I mentioned that I recently lost the 18kg/40lbs I'd put on since then - no doubt the legacy of this sort of eating behaviour!!

The photos he took in Bath...Well, not all of them Max - I left out the naked fire-eater/acrobat who was performing outside the pump room, and the drunken party the night before....

Hey! You left out the best ones! What I wanna know is...would that acrobat picture have been any good at demonstrating "stotting"? HMMMM????? Of course, I ask for a purely board related reason!

the pump room
Ok, I just read Northanger Abbey for a class I'm taking and I wondered the whole time what the heck a pump room is. Could you explain? If not I guess I can just wait until I go there for spring break.

I don't suppose it's the room with the pump in it.

Well, golly! Looks like I was right!
Surprise, surprise! Actually, Bath was quite fashionable during the Regency period and they held dances at the pump room. Be a bit annoying for the bathers, I'd have thought.
