Correct. Heard whilst furtling on the levels (now they are not submerged beneath the waves).

Take it away.

Skylark? In the evening? I'm so staid even the skylarks have more of an evening life than me. Good question though.

Yes, part of my Saturday night consisted of wandering the gloaming of the Somerset levels, not exactly the rock and roll lifestyle either. But if you went this weekend you might be able to hear the strains of Dolly Parton at Glastonbury in the distance. I hear she got the nine to five slot. *bows*

OK next question then. The other day as I came out of the gym near home, a well-known journalist happened to be walking past. Who was it?

Piers Moron

Not Piers. A good guess though, given that I live in N London and he is a Gooner.

And no.

It was a male, and he is primarily on telly but also blogs and pens the odd article.

He seems to get around, and isn't a stranger to a gym! Though that guess is primarily spurred by my lack of knowledge of European news folks.

I believe you are off by 2. The address in question is:

3 St. James Street, London SW1A 1EG

idj123 · Post by **idj123** » 18:00 Fri 27 Jun 2014

Nope to all of the above-although the last mentioned is clearly integral to my education! And I've obviously been waxing too much about (the late lamented ) Krohn (we should a wake). Clue: it wasn't in this country.

You are correct. Google lists the address as "St. James Street" but then displays it on the map as "St. James's Street".

BBR's website says St. James's Street, though, so I'll take that as final authority.

The final authority is surely Westminster City Council who put up the street signs...
