On a side note....
Did you know that the Film "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens was shot entirely in my town and we still have the grave of Ebeneezer Scrooge in the church graveyard as the props people thought it would be funny to leave it where it was.

Pix here (and even though they have fake snow, our town really does look like this)
that reminds me also of my wifes response to someone who was pretending to be well read.
the person said to my wife "Do you like Dickens"
to which my wife naughtily responded " I don't know i've never been to one"[/url]
