Glasgow

A fine city that has some fantastic architectural examples. Along the banks of the Clyde - just a stones throw from the city centre- is the remains of an open air seating area/arena - must have been superb to have enjoyed the odd show whilst sitting on the wooden tiered seating. This could do with looking after as its a fine example of Glasgow's heritage.

Pearly King and Queen, London

A bit of the London theme today - first Flannagan and Allen playing in the background and now a photograph last Autumn just off London's Brick Lane...

Flannagan and Allen

Easy listening - a touch of Flannagan and Allen - smooth tunes and likeable voices...touch of the war years sounds surprisingly good when working.

Cadburys packaging - latest news reports that Cadburys have produced a wrapper that will take the consumer to an interactive video game when they point a smart phone at it. This is amazing - exciting what will develop next.
