I certainly think David H was right, "on the high street" is what I'd

"on the high street" is fine, but both are used, though google, that

Can't you tell us what happened to the lorry? I'm back in Leiden on

Around 17:30 yesterday they used a very large crane to lift the front
part of the artic up whilst a breakdown truck pulled the whole thing
backwards. The show has finished.
Yesterday evening, we went to the Italian restaurant Porto Pino
http://www.leidslekkers.nl/pagina/recensie/20 that I recommended to
you. It is still good although you need to be very hungry to eat the
vast quantity of food that they put in front of you.
