Hooray. Right you are now victims of my daughters school requirement to read 10 books from different times and different cultures by the end of this school year. I've been pulling books off the shelves and reading her the first couple of lines to gauge the reaction, including this from a Noel prize winning 20th century author:
" Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice"

Good grief Twins. How did you remember that? I had to look it up. You can't read them all though I suppose. There are so many classic books that I've yet to read and fear that I'll never will.

Got it.

I couldn't hold it in
Comedy gold, I've just choked on my toast.
As Swords has f*cked-up and creamed himself in the process, here's another easy starter to get us back on track:
They are green, they are made predominantly of wood, there are 13 of them situated at various locations across Central London, what are they?...

Cheers mate. Staying on the London theme, what links these following London locations?St. James's Square SW1, Charleville Rd W14, Hans Crescent SW1, Braybrook Street W12 and Cato Road SW4. (nb This is not an exhaustive list.)
