John, dear boy, I thought you were practicing night manoeuvres in Edale. May I respectfully suggest that you consult your compass if you believe yourself to be anywhere near Alderley Edge? Won't most people be busy reading their way through the new Harry Potter? (Personally I'd rather reread Alan Garner.) Much as I'd love to come and join you "at the dawning of the day", it is further than I'm willing to travel at that time of day. Perhaps I should just build my own stone circle at home and worship in private, but there is a shortage of sacrificial virgins around here, so what are the permissible alternatives?
