Dear Peter T.,

If the Taverner piece was the one which preceded the moment of silence, was that what the choir was singing to "Danny Boy," or did it follow? Wish now that I hadn't copied over the tape.

It could be cogently argued that it takes a bit o' doin' to steal a cliché worthy o' the name from Wm. Blake! And him with all those juicy metaphors t' plunder!

While your analysis is a tad unkind, it is apt. (Though it could be cogently argued that it takes a bit o' doin' to steal a cliché worthy o' the name from Wm. Blake -- and him with all those juicy metaphors t' plunder!)

Oh, and while y're about catchin' clichés and reportin' scandalous grammatical lapses to The Yard, copper, best be mendin' yer own tenses. Stumbled on a wee subjunctive back a little ways, din't ya, boy-o?

Ta,
