    Fighting Cocks, any connection to the Fawcett Inn? Which BTW I have yet to enter as it was tightly closed when I attempted to penetrate the dark interior [smirk]

    I think you're right to be worried if you missed that!

    The worst bit is I used to work with a programmer who would test his programs with the sample address:

    Mary Likes
    The Cockwell Inn
    Tillit
    Herts

    So you would think I might have spotted that, I blame it on not enough beer.
