Clive,

Headlines on BBCi today:-

"Home town triumph for Tom Jones
A 20,000 crowd laps up Tom Jones' 65th birthday concert in his home town of Pontypridd."

You're not looking to compete with this are you?

Just having a quiet moment to myself this evening and I suddenly remembered something about Nuneaton that I had previously forgotten. On the road coming into town from Abbey St station (the A47 I think?). On the left there was and, for all I know, still is a slag heap. It was conical in shape and looked like a mini volcano, approx 200ft high, at a guess. It was well established and was covered in grass and small plants. I especially remember it because it was a favourite place for the PTIs to take the boxing teams, for instance, to train. A couple of times up and down that thing and you know you had had a workout! I remember doing it one summer evening and, completely drowning in sweat and being totally knackered, thinking of the film that was doing the rounds at that time, "The Hill", staring, I think, Albert Finney and Shaun Connery. Wonder if it's still there?
