Dai, I have to say that your theories are a load of Cock and Bull. *BG* Stony Stratford would suit me fine for a gathering as my brother lives there (and will be extremely alarmed to know that he is now hosting the 2002 Gathering). I will ring him tomorrow to warn him!

NB The Cock and the Bull Inns are two pubs in Stony Stratford, and the excellent Cock and Bull Band may be heard there on occasion.
