BTW, great new series on PBS Shakespeare Uncovered. Several episodes are available for streaming on the internet including Henry IV & V with Jeremy Irons which I saw over the weekend. Very well produced. I'm excited about it.

Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York;
And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean car park buried.

This is really neat...wonder how EII is going to handle how to deal with the remains..formal funeral?
But REALLY, in jolly OLD England how do you pave anything thing over without checking what’s underneath?
