Yes, there is also the story (supposed to be true) that a UK transport minister enquired of his French counterpart how on earth they managed to build their TGV lines, without getting bogged down in everlasting planning applications, judicial reviews and what not. His superb reply, completely overlooking the double entendre, is said to have been, "When we wish to drain ze swamp, we do not consult ze frogs."

Compo, re #41, I think that the music shop which was next to Pearsons store was Farmers Music, but can't recall whether this was at some stage amalgamated into Pearsons. Anyone throw any light onto this?
