Two gems from a dinner the othe night: Time is what keeps everything from happenimg at once. A southerner (like me) who's lived up north for longer than I have, back in the dim and distant was driving through Widnes looking for one of those big DIY shops. "I say", he asked of a local, winding down the window, "Is there a B & Q in Widnes?" The Widnesian stood for a moment contemplating the question and then repeated it: "Is ther a B & Q in Widnes?..... No, I don't believe there is; there's a B in Bolton and a Q in Queensferry but not in Widnes."
