Anywhere in Britain except the Isle of Wight if I remember the book correctly. Don't forget to top 'em early.

Re: Curiosity/Armageddon
I've though about this for a while. I think I'd carry on doing exactly what I'm doing, not altering a thing. I think I'm probably more contented now than ever before - why change my ways?
