      <description><![CDATA[Dr Who wasn't only filmed in a Dorset quarry. It was filmed in lots of quarries, all over the country.
The legend about the cast of Dr Who running around a corner of a quarry and bumping into the cast of Blakes 7 coming in the other direction is not actually true, but it's a good one anyway.
Most successful plant in the galaxy: buddlia. It appears in sooo many B7 episodes, and probably a lot of Dr Who planets too.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I once saw a guide book to visiting Dr Who locations (possibly of american origin, but can't remember).
Leeds Castle is one location listed, and the directions for getting there were given as :
&quot;Take a train from London to Leeds. Get in a taxi and ask to be taken to Leeds castle.&quot;

I wonder how many people actually followed said instructions]]></description>

You can't just go by what the subject line says around here. Ya gotta just read it all!  And forget about trying to follow a thread because no one uses the &quot;reply to this message&quot; link...we all just mosey on down to the reply box at the end.  We're lazy that way.

      <description><![CDATA[      &quot;Old Zealand&quot;? Wouldn't that have been the Dutch province of Zeeland, which consists of various islands in the shared estaury of the Rhine &amp; the Scheldt (&amp; the Maas/Meuse)? After all, &quot;New Zealand&quot; was named by the explorer Tasman, and he was Dutch... Or is there one somewhere around Lincolnshire or the Fens, because of Dutch (land drainage experts') inluence, that you were actually thinking of instead?

      <description><![CDATA[I don't live in Birmingham. I do however climb there as it's only 20-odd miles away. To find Evesham, follow the Severn Estuary and continue on the same line north-east until you're level with the snout of Wales (Wales looks like a pig's head). Birmingham is then twenty miles due north. and yes, it is slightly left of central. 

Rob - my sense of direction is  more reliable than most of my attributes. Only yesterday I walked home through two building sites, over five cars and through an old folks home - just to prove you could get back home in a more-or-less straight line... I chickened out at wading the river, however.

Um, otherwise I'm stuck. I must have been having a moment. ;)
