Long live Mick Aston - he even makes me look smart. Seconds after my
wife said this is just the kind of place we might see someone we know,
we ran into him in Cluny last year in France and he was as you get on

seeing the Time Team in St Mry City- we were shown video on way back
from SMC to Williamsburg at 1997 conference. The bus erupted in
hysterics but I think the Brits and Americans laughed at different bits.
