I thought Bakewell was famous for Tarts not Puddings, or am I getting confused with somewhere else?

The tart is common all over the country but it is indeed the pudding that Bakewell is famous for.

Who was it who called Bakewell "the thinking person's crumpet"?

Bakewell Tarts and Bakewell Puddings are variants of the same thing. The pudding came furst, the tart variant has subsequently become more popular mainly as a result of the efforts of Mr Kipling et al :-)

The exhibition was good, by the way - I went this morning. Not huge, but priced accordingly and it had a good selection of layouts on show. The venue is nice too - it's easily accessible and the fact that it's lit mainly by natural light means that it's possible to get good photos without the need for flash. We spent a couple of hours there and then went for a walk round the town. Overall, it was a very nice day out. If anyone is wondering whether to pay a visit tomorrow then I'd certainly recommend it.

So is Hessle Road in Hull - but only well after my shop has closed for the day. Not the sort of Tart I would want to taste however!

Yes Soho is famous or is that infamous for being a red light district and also apparently the centre of London's gay district.

Do you know why it has so many brothels ?

The Soho area originally built up as a destination for the rich, although they cleared out when Soho was hit by a cholera outbreak in

1854. In fact one of London's smallest landmarks is situated there ..... a water pump on Broadwick Street dedicated to a Dr. John Snow, who identified a nearby public water pump as the source of the cholera outbreak.

We also visited the show on Saturday for a couple of hours .... everyone from the people issuing the tickets onwards were all very friendly and very understanding of our son, who has autism. Our son loves to see all the trains / rolling stock on show running and most of the exhibitors were happy to oblige.

One for our diary next year !
