hmmm - on reflection I remember a Nik Turner show that was astonishingly
better than I had expected, followed by an interview in a broom
cupboard, a ride in the back of a van across London to some strange
destination, a further interview in someone's sitting room and a wierd
taxi ride to somewhere south of the Thames at some hour of the morning
so ridiculous that nothing of any kind was stirring in the streets at
all.   London was empty.   Unique!
