I was at college with an Iranian girl - they fled after the Shah was overthrown. I also had an Iranian boyfriend for a while and his family were lovely. His mum was a pharmacist and they all remembered the days of Zoroastrian culture that was clobbered by Islam. And so the story goes on..

It was indeed a great trip out to help celebrate Rosemary for her help and support over the years with HDL.

Yup. If you do venture out, Winter tyres are a **must**
I've had them for years and they are simply excellent in situations like this. Get a grip!

It's a fascinating place - I remember going through in the early days of Thameslink and trying to absorb the layout - seeing underground trains running in parallell and taking it all in before diving down towards Kings Cross - Thameslink. My brain then saying "What, where, how? but.."

Thanks, Joe. When you look at the whole area from Blackfriars towards Holbon Viaduct, it is amazing how they crammed it all in and all the redevelopment to replace it all.
