Oh I remember the place in the photo, I was in London two weeks ago, though am not sure the scaffolding was still in place. There are two hotels, very popular with the Maltese, just off Russell Square, the President and the Royal National. Wonder if they’re lodged in one of these?

@ P Bonnici

May I ask (tongue in cheek, of course) how you can tell whether the announcer on BBC Radio 4 is black or white?

Maybe; Hello, this is the BBC radio 4.
or, Hallow, from BBC radio 4, this is John Doe…?

But seriously, back in the late fifties I was fortunate enough to be taught by three great English teachers. I still remember their names: Messrs. Molloy, Wood (imports) and of course the perennial (local) Mr Parker. Wonderful teachers with impeccable pronunciation and to whom I owe my language skills, although when I am in a hurry, I don’t always do justice to the English language!

In reply to Ta'Sapienza. Not a good idea to go to the British Museum. They might be kidnapped by the MI5 and displayed there as unique specimen of pre-Homo Sapiens civilisation.

In reply to Ta'Sapienza. Not likely they will spend any time at the Museum. That would cut into shopping time for cejp bargins, ta.

In reply to x'kumbinazzjoni. Perhaps that fund will be something like the Community Chest Fund, for the benefit of our dears.
