I don't but I know that Joanna (princess of darkness) is studying at the university there.

Ilike the city, lovely and dark and mysterious. And the cathedral on top of the hil bit is marvelous.

Sounds like the old place hasn't changed much in the years since I worked there!

I'd forgotten the Dun Cow, one of our (me and the peeps I earned a crust with) regular watering holes.

Ah happy memories. Of standing for hours at the station trying to get my breath back and wondering if the train would be cancelled .
