What is the similarity between a London bus and a hurdy-gurdy list email?
You go days without seeing one and then 30 turn-up at the same time.
What is this lunatic going on about I hear you mutter?
Well, some members of the list will no doubt be at Saint Chartier and away from their computers during the period 10-16 July [some will be gone longer to take in Gooik, Gennetines and Rudolstadt].
Therefore; could those poor deprived souls, and English School teachers who can't go , please keep their list activities to a minnimum during that period as no-one wants to come home to a huge crop of emails.
How does everyone else feel about this idea? or am I just being a grumpy old Englishman?

ps; those of us who do go will no-doubt keep the spirit of the list alive by sitting on campsites in extremes of heat and cold whilst drinking wine and nattering-on interminably on subjects of
cotton, pick-ups, early music and the, as yet unproved rumour, of a thriving tradition of gurdy playing on Pitcairn Island.
