So, it is as wacky as I hoped for.
Have you read this one? If so, how do you compare it to Thursday Next?

So far, it is. :D

Please don't tell me that the Druids are based on fact.

Druids are a historical fact, yes. Not sure they ever ran an organised crime mob in Aber, though. ;-)

I wan't that concerned about whether druids as such were real - we know from Asterix that they were. ;)
It was the Druid mob cult-ure in Aber that made me worry. :)

Yes, of course - but Druids aren't the only threat on the mean streets of Aber...

As I am hoping to find out shortly when I return to the book. I hear Welsh accents in my head while reading this, btw.

Very good! Have you met the icecream vendor, yet?

Yes! The one who just scatters his hundreds and thousands before the public but leaves philosophising to the drunks. :D

Has the Games Teacher been mentioned, yet?

They've just met in the police cell.

hehe... St. Luddites . :D

One must be careful going down the steps when visiting the Aberystwyth police station...
