Where the streets are paved.
Light in your head and dead on your feet or something...
So what draws you to London?

Ian, can I stop you there? The song "Baker Street" isn't about Baker Street in London. It's about Baker Street in Stirling. Thanks. Carry on.

Really? Gosh! But it all seems so appropriate.
At least I know that it's not really Bob Holness doing the saxophone solo.

How in the name of Keith Chegwin did that rumour ever get started?

Of course the Victor Lewis Smith attribution may turn out to be as much of an urban myth as the Bob Holness thing - that rumour had been circulating for years before I heard where it started.

So who started the rumour that VLS started the rumour?
(This could go on for some time, please feel free to go back to the original subject...)

I believe that one originated on the urban legend folklore news group. Oh the irony!

Well what were we supposed to do when you didn't contribute to your own Forum? 
Congrats on getting a place sorted out. I'm probably going to move back down here fairly soon. (Probably to Hammersmith, or thereabouts.) So which end of London will you be in?

Pah! Poor excuse.
I already work here quite a lot and I like it here... Seems like reason enough.
