Reflection has thrown up from my subconscious that `Strangeways' may be the prison from the fictional seires ( BBC I think ) ``Within These Walls'' and not a real one. I'm now not sure which. Definitly a womans prison though. BTW she ( or should that be She ) is definitly in police custody when she sings `There goes a tenner/ Hey! look . . . ' and so I can't see the thory that they are floating past havng _Just_ been blown up. I always thorght she was taking it out of the police either out loud or in her mind - `the govt. will never find the money'. Oh no! I've just dissagreed with |>oug and IED. Please, please - no look, put down the hammer . . . . . . . . . . . rjc@uk.ac.ed.aipna AKA rjc%uk.ac.ed.aipna@nss.cs.ucl.ac.uk "Never throw the letter `Q' into a privet bush" - Douglas Adams [ But Kate's *not* definitely in prison when she says "There goes a tenner". The "Strangeways" reading of "strange ways" is probably just a pun -- an allusion to the fact that she will soon be in prison. -- |>oug ]
