Great. If Ian's late, they can buy some drugs and shag a hooker while
they're waiting.

Exactly - i think of everything!

They could even listen to the sound trail, if they bring their MP3
players:

Wow! I've never seen that before; isn't it amazing?!

I might try and use some of that in another tour sometime.

Actually, I do relatively little around KX/SP because there's a lot of
competition in guiding there recently, with all sorts of people taking
an interest in the area and quite a few tours going on. Little
provincial me hardly get's a look in! ;-)

As I said, this upcoming job is a bit different as I'm off to follow the
course of the Fleet. (A sequel to a New River one I've already done
for the same clients.)

Ha, splendid!

Perhaps a more relevant example to this thread would be that other
inverse square law of motion - the walking speed of a group of people
is inversely proportional to the square of the number of people in
it. :-)

Square root, surely.

I'm sure Mr Jelf has his techniques!

I was wondering if he'd heard of it. :-)

He's not only heard of it, he's done a lot of practical research on
the matter, including work in Oxford and Cambridge. (Who says we
tour guide types aren't academic??!!!)

Some of my friends are Cambridge tour guides. :-)

Some of us have had great fun showing tourists the rooms where insert
name of royalty lived, Hitler's planned British HQ, the cathedral on
Trumpington Street...

I do - in all seriousness - know somewhere in London where a toilet was
specifically installed for the use of Adolph Hitler as it was intended
that he be imprisoned there.

Oh yes, I had supervisions in one of them, though before Prince Charles
lived in it.

Hitler's planned British HQ, the
cathedral on Trumpington Street...

However, our preferred one is the house two doors away once lived in by
the present Archbishop of Canterbury. We couldn't even interest an estate
agent selling it in that one once!

Was it one of those German ones with a shelf?
