Yeah, but I'm not worried - if they take action  they'll probably be
using an out-of-date London A-Z map.

Must remember to warn my local Chinese Take Away though. [Jade's of 
Whitton - excellent Peking Cuisine and not at all sympathetic to the 
Serbs - honest- if you're looking in folks] Seriously, if they want 
to stake out my house and get a bit hungry, I'd recommend the Kung-Po 
Chilli Prawns and the Sea Spice Chicken.
