ARRRGHH! *splutter* I was _born_ in Loughborough, and I want to go back...
Actually my family lived in Quorn (KwooOOOORN :-), about 3 miles outside
of town. Haven't been back to the area since the early '70's, unfortunately.
Have many fond memories of riding my big British tricycle (with the boot in
between the back wheels) around the corner of our street. With good traction
I could get it up on two wheels...
Do me a favor: stop by 35 Toller Road in Quorn and see if the current owners
have still got the front door painted purple. Tell 'em the son of the PO is
not happy about that. :-)
