Knew a chap who caught the train to London from Twyford. He lived near the Thames at Sonning.

In fairness to Stephanie Beacham, whose character Martha lives on a narrowboat, I've not heard *her* refer to a barge, but plenty of the others. Last night however, when she's offering Ken the chance for eternal bliss she told him of her plans that could include him if he so desired. They entailed going to Twyford [?] Little Venice [that I'm going to after this e-mail session in Paddington Library for the Cavalcade] & the Norfolk Broads. Although not stated, it implies that these locations are all accessible & are connected to one another. With such a big programme, can't the writers indulge in a little research? Mind you, if there's a secret way to access the Norfolk Broads other than across the Wash, tidal waters etc.etc. point me to it & I'll be there! :-)) Barry Nb pedant [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
