Why don't we have a Questions thread?
Here's a question: Who or what is St Saviour?
Jesus. Now I know you must get impatient with us from time to time Don B but there's no need for that.  |

PS Talking of abbreviations ... 'w.r.t.'? I've seen this twice today, never knowingly before.
I use it q often, usually as wrt, to mean "with respect to" or "with reference to" but then I'm a mathematician by training  Blimey, not another one. Shall George, you, me and Inky go and sit in a corner? Tommo |

Not forgetting Ian of course! Oh, sorry Ian. And of course Noto Bombo (Hello Noto), who (from the boarders biogs) I believe was examined in Maths (even if he didn't realise his training was in Maths!) Tommo |

I know St Cross well, it being the 'parish' church to the first school I taught at. I used to take my class into the water meadows, sketching pencils and paints in hand, to capture on paper the fine views.
In the days before endless Risk Assessments had to be carried out, then OK'd by the Chairman of the Governors, weeks in advance? Could you just toddle off on a whim to those water meadows on a nice sunny day, with kids straggling behind carrying all the pots of paint for Sir? Spontaneity can be such fun! The nearest I've got to that feeling is rushing out into the playground to run about in a snow shower not at playtime! |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

It looks deeply idyllic, IGI.
I believe St Cross was the inspiration to Anthony Trollope for the first of his Barchester novels, The Warden.

And of course Noto Bombo (Hello Noto), who (from the boarders biogs) I believe was examined in Maths (even if he didn't realise his training was in Maths!) Tommo My grandpa (paternal) was a maths lecturer and my granddad (maternal) started off teaching maths before being seduced by the bright lights of headmasterdom. My mum teaches maths, one brother is a market researcher (analysing statistics) and the other is a mathematician by training but spends his life sorting out other people's finances (not mine... now there's a thought...). I just use a lot of numbers in my composition which doesn't come to the same thing does it? |

Hh, I suspect your use of numbers is somewhat more interesting than mine.
Despite a job in the financial services industry, there is little call for my maths training. Last week there was a small personal whoop-de-doo as I actually used a technique from 'A' level, although a good 'O' level student may have been able to grasp it.

Maths was never my strong point. I was better at art, music, history, goeography etc.

Thank you for that timely reminder, BBM. The next time I see a hot-air balloon coming, I shall run!
(or at least waddle much faster)
