Well, you've already made a major contribution to the well-being of
the list. By using the phrase 'lurk and learn' you've reminded me of
the great British comic, er "children's illustrated magazine", called
'Look and Learn', my sole companion when I spent 6 weeks in the
school sick room as a
13 year old, and I now discover it's online!
How to get a classical education and squeeze your pocks at the same
time:

Unless my mother has had another manic throwing out phase, the first
ten years' production is stored at my parents' house.
It's been difficult to find a modern equivalent, although there are
some excellent DVDs.

the online sample of Look & Learn includes a piece about the Dover-
London Road (Watling Street, now the A2) - including a picture of the
George, the pub I mentioned to you last week where we once had a PDML
session! I'm theorising that the illustrator enjoyed the time he spent
in there, drawing the architecture :o)

Next week's episode takes us to Deptford. And from there no doubt to
Greenwich. I must buy it!
Not to mention quoting McGonagall. No wonder we are so erudite.
I suspect that was a deliberate attempt to warp young minds. At the Friday
afternoon editorial meeting someone jokingly suggested printing one, just to
mess with young heads, but in order to get it by they had to do a worthy
article about the Tay Bridge, which frankly no-one would remember but for
the great rhymster's magnum opus.
I think I'll try to find time tonight to watch the Peter Sellers/Spike
Milligan film about WMc., that I have on DVD somewhere.
