Point taken. However from the descriptions of the no. of shops etc I would
give it the status of a large village as opposed to a town and I still fail
to see why it would be populated entirely by adult wizards. Not all of those
shopkeepers can have been either single, childless couples or almost
retirement age so where are the children. . . .
