cara said...: I really did. A FAB bit little nugget to impress my friends with next time I am strolling past. Cheers! It's knowing stuff like this that turns you into a real local.

Maybe not, but locals around here have several near misses by glass falling from these tall buildings. :); February 28, 2009 at 1:51 PM
