You have funny way of distinguish scullers from rowers. And the first aid bus. Excellent OTBP tips.

I was once allowed to sing in the boy's choir here. Hidden at the back so no-one could see that I was a girl. I also had my confirmation at this church.

Excellent page of Marlow. This exactly describes the feel and the town. I spent a great Sunday afternoon there this summer... Thanks for clearing up the whole UK, GB and England confusion.
