No idea. I read a great book about salt last year though.
If anyone is looking for a good read order Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky. You wouldn't believe how fascinating this book is. No really.

He also wrote a book about Cod that rules.
I am a big Kurlansky fan.

6060In a reprise of last year, I helped celebrate my friends' birthdays by visiting the town of Glossop, in Derbyshire (a handy halfway point for the represented Leeds and Liverpool factions). Last year the B&B we stayed at was newly opened by a particularly nice couple - they're more into the groove a year later, but still very open to letting the whole place to us and being more than reasonably accommodating. They remembered that we had vegans in our party and bought in soya milk especially, and let said vegans take said 'milk' away with them for free. Fine behaviour.
A trip to Hadfield ('Royston Vasey' of League Of Gentlemen fame) proved immensely depressing. Perhaps big city life has insulated me but I find it hard to believe that there are still towns where the high street shops close on a Saturday afternoon. Back in Glossop's relative civilisation, we hit last year's pub for it's combination of quality, cheap food and quality, cheap, brewed-on-the-premises beer. Last year we were surprised when we found an indie disco in the upstairs room, but not too surprised to disgrace it. This year we were disappointed upon enquiry to find it wasn't to be repeated; but the landlady sensed our disappointment and without prompting phoned up the DJ and arranged to have the room opened up for our benefit. Cheesy rock and free sambuca ensued, along with sustained periods of grateful dancing.
Good times. Work in the morning will be a crash.
