Definitely no Burger King in Llanfair P.G. I was there last year during my cycling tour of the North Wales coast, and in need of sustenance. The possibilities were a couple of pubs, or the coffee shop inside the Edinburgh Woollen Mills shop. I never did work out why the biggest shop in a Welsh village was Scottish. -- Corporation......An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility. - Ambrose Bierce Steph Peters, Manchester, England [EMAIL PROTECTED] Scanned by WinProxy http://www.Ositis.com/ To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
