Part I and Part II Orders.

There's a long, somewhat hidden street very near Russell Square Tube
station that's very Dickensian in feel and quite a surprise to stumble
upon - I can't recall the name, but it appears to be old stable blocks.
Maybe someone here recalls? Also, it's near Dickens' house!
Alternatively, you could go wander round Lincoln's Inn at night - very
atmospheric indeed.

To second Mr. Breathnach's point, it's in common usage among those of
us USA'ns who work with the government (as in, read the Federal
Register or write the same); agencies "promulgate" rules and
regulations all the time.

We've just gone on to digital tv via the cable, and we now get such
delights as Fox "news", and the wonderful Trinity Broadcasting
Network. The latter is so funny, it is easy to think you are watching
a really good British parody of the genre, then you realise they
really mean it.

Didn't get away with that one, any way I know that street,
pretty steep climb up to the Strand, especially at the end
of a day's sight seeing.
