h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

What a lovely article! I used to be taken on the line as a bairn to eat ice cream in Musselburgh. (Does anyone know why M. is known as the "Honest Toun" btw?)

I found that the links to the parly building website and the railway timetable didn't work, and I just thought that one of those nice italics might come along and fix it!

P

It's called the Honest Toun because the townspeople are supposed to have taken in the Earl of Moray when he was injured and on the run in the C16-17 and kept him hidden and nursed him back to health, and not taken a penny for it... as far as I remember. There's a monument about i=t in the little carpet across the road from Lucas.

the links worked when it was in PR, and I can't imagine Njan the sub-ed didn't check them, but I'm sure soemone will come and fix them. I'll have alittle look and see what I can see.

Thank for your comments, Perseus!

I've fixed those!

Can I just repeat what you have said that I love this entry!

yep, I can see that they work now. Thanks Ashley, and thanks for saying such nice things!

Carpet = car park in that last posting btw

Thanks Cloviscat, another one of lifes little mysteries solved!

Still problems with links (maybe changed since publication):
First ScotRail - http://www.firstgroup.com/scotrail/index.php
John Muir - http://www.jmt.org/who/muir.html

The nice italics are busy so I've changed the links instead. Thanks very much ans094!
