    Hello Bridewell.

    Secret Squirrel were famous for all sorts of things- hence this and other nicknames.

    Best wishes

    Sir Ed

    Hello Bridewell. That's true enough. But you should have seen Sir Ed's Room 56 operation!

    Cheers.

    Lynn, Simon, Bridewell,

    This will require some time on a Friday night, so it's time for a pint of bitter -maybe a McEwan's Ale. I may have to mind my pints & quarts (p's & q's)!

    Cheers!

    Mike

    Hello Simon.

    Hmm, food for thought, heh-heh.
