[PRCo] Re: NOT PRCo---London Transport Video Series on the BBC

Thanks for sending Herb.  

I know it's not Pittsburgh but for some of us, it's another home.     This may sound crazy to most of you, but after 18 visits to Britain, it becomes comfortable like another home ... like we feel when we are back home in Pittsburgh.

There is a great story.   There was a vicar (all Anglian priests in Great Britain are on the payroll of the archbishop and not the local parish, i.e. they serve vicariously or in place of the archbishop) at St. Mary's parish in Crich who had a fabulous memory for faces and names.   If I was in that area over a weekend, I might show up on Sunday morning for services.   Might have happened once a year.  The last time I was there the vicar saw me leaving and said, "Welcome home, Fred."   Now how many ministers have that good a memory?   But it does make you want to go back.
