EC took a verse along...

Nieve, originally from Liverpool but now of the city of light. I cannot recall having seen Steve described before as a Liverpudlian. Wikipedia says he is from London.

There may be more gallery space in the basement, but on the ground floor I would be surprised if they can hang more than 20 photos. If a lot of us turn up at once, it will...
