    No, but it wasn't necessarily Richard who did them in. A very readable account of an alternative view is Josephine Tey's The Daughter of Time (the title is an allusion to 'truth'): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daughter_of_Time

    Fast, but possibly not hard.

    The wealth doesn't belong to the Universities, but to *some* of the colleges (not my alma mater, unfortunately). Both St John's are fabulously rich; it used to be said that you could travel from one to the other entirely on their land.

    In a fight like this the smart money is always on the train.

    Do you know, that word isn't in the dictionary?

    I don't remember the signal box on the footbridge. When did it go?

    They're very nice, but I quite like small engines too.

    I thought the link was provided in the late 1950s to allow Western Birmingham & Bristol traffic to use Eastgate also meant that Cheltenham- Swindon trains could stop there. In the early 1970s the dmus certainly did. Before the closure of Eastgate station and the consequent reversal at Central fewer north and south trains stopped at Cheltenham than at Gloucester.

    The character's name was changed from a word that rhymes with duck so that the film could get a 15 certificate.

    Is there a website for them, Rob?

    Completely off-topic, but there's an old story of a Birmingham businessman who disparaged one of his rivals by saying, 'He travels to London by LMS.'
