> Geoff:
<snip> I do not want to have stories about everyday doings from our
contemporary world -I have the BBC News channel, for that.... and when
I heard that there is questionable language in it, that was the sticking
point. One of the nice things about Hogwarts students is that they rarely
use anything very strong. In my own dealings with young people, I find
that many of them are in this category and I don't want a 1000 year old
Anglo-Saxon word appearing in every third sentence!

So I shall remain faithful to Harry, Neville, Hermione at al when I want to
retire into a world free of falling Footsie indexes, economic downturns
and housing problems. Call me an escapist if you like... You're probably
right but I am unrepentantly so. <


Jeanine:
Gosh Geoff you have closely summed up how I feel too.
