Re: When in Rome...

OK, isn't that Sicilian Avenue? I've eaten in one of the cafés in there, it was a bit greasy. I never knew there was a sixth form college there.

Re: When in Rome...

In fact I hate Camden Market and Camden Lock area. Just too crowded all day and every day. I like the walk from St. Pancras to Regents Park along the canal though... You have to negotiate the...

Re: When in Rome...

That corner is the Grange Hotel now. I believe there is now a Japanese Restaurant there. I know the Lloyds Bank well, it's in Victoria House, a building where my father worked from the 1940s until...

There's a really good bicycle shop on that road, Lamb's Conduit, too.

Re: When in Rome...

Well it was back in the 1970s I was a big user of Camden Libraries. I was well well served there though!

Re: When in Rome...

Was that the Holborn Library on Theobalds Road? I used that library all the time ... I used to work in the Ministry of Defence just down the road from there

Re: When in Rome...

I actually walked past there a couple of times over the last several weeks but didn't go in. It's on the same street as one of my favorite London pubs, the Lamb on Lamb's Conduit. Go in there for a...

Re: When in Rome...

Did you know, there's a very good 1930s novel about Bognor Regis. Probably my favourite book read in 2013.

Yes, first I read the post, then had to remember what page it was on so I could go back to it ...

Re: When in Rome...

Well it does at least partly redeem the premature ejaculation, surely?

Seriously, though, this is unfair on us UK Yankee types. Knowing what I now know, I wish I'd stayed up till four in the...

Re: When in Rome...

Tough for those of us in England/Britain, I come upon this at eight in the morning and have to read all thirteen pages at one go. Fair warning, I'm coming to America on Monday, I plan to sneer at...
