Oddly enough, Oxford is in the news today:

http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0...340899,00.html

My daughter was a boarder at Headington School on the London Road, not far from the John Radcliffe Hospital, she joined the Sixth Form for her 'A' levels and often visits friends in the city.

Oh yes, that was a favourite of all the family

and when the greek restrurant opened, I quickly grew to like all things greek.

My youngest sister used to work on one of the stalls in Church St Market at the weekends but that was long time ago - in the early 80's
