Quote:
By the 1850s, the rapid growth of the metropolitan area meant it became too large to efficiently operate as a single post town.[3] The original London postal district was devised by Sir Rowland Hill in 1856 as a circular area of 12 miles radius from the central post office at St. Martin's Le Grand, near St Paul's Cathedral in central London.[2] Within the district it was divided into ten large areas which operated much like separate towns. Each was constituted "London" with a suffix (EC, WC, N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, and NW) indicating the area it covered; each had a separate head office.[2] The system was introduced during 1857[3] and was completed on 1 January 1858. Later, on 08 Nov 2002, O/O was added, since Steve needed screenname on A2K. [6]

It's a beautiful place smorgsie. They sent Ovid there for his exile though what he had done to deserve it is still a mystery.

I saw ten minutes of it. Looked a bit slanted to me. Did anyone suggest that Mr Milosovic had sound realpolitik reasons for the actions that he took which are no different, in principle, to the actions we are taking in the ME.

This weekend I adopted the soubriquet of "El Magnifico"

You may use this in all future correspondence.



Hey Smorgs (if that is your real name) I was discussing yesterday with vinsan about him coming over here for a visit in October so I hope you're around then.
We could get up to some high jinks.

That might depend on what kind of artifical and/or Chinese colouring is in it, how the rock tastes ...
