Francis Norton replied to Shan's discussion 'Finally - a Hungarian Food Shop!'

Awesome - I haven't found anything like that in little old London, and I've been lobbying local grocers to find and stock proper paprikas all the way from down town Brixton to leafy Wimbledon! Do they have Toro Rudi and Eres Pistos too? And who ar…

Francis Norton replied to Shan's discussion 'Its a bit quiet on here!'

Oooh - just watched some mini moto on youtube - that looks fun! How old do children have to be to do it? Our nearly-four-year-old just had his first rid on a full-size horse in the hills above Buda, and was quite upset that we wouldn't let it go any…

Francis Norton commented on Michael Billington's photo 'Anglia Manchester'

What's the event? I remember going to a four-in-hand championship in Debrecen in (I think) 1978, and hearing Prince Philip swearing roundly at his horses when they got a bit restless waiting to enter the arena.

He was working over here for a year, but I did not meet him and his co-worker until April 2009. We managed to communicate because I speak marvelous pigeon english, and by using a lot of sign language, and a rather inaccurate interenet translator service! !!!
