Couldn't possibly comment, but suffice to say I'd be just old enough
and am just involved in organising the thing...

Ah, you probably met one of my neighbours :o)

I had a Greek flatmate when I was in first year at uni who had caught
a taxi across town.  The driver, being a friendly Glaswegian, had
talked to her from the moment she got into the cab to the moment she
got out, and she didn't understand a single word, although her English
was perfectly good...  What can I say, we're a friendly city where you
can stand at a bus stop and have half a dozen people talk at you, but
whether your comprehension levels are there is an entirely different
matter :o)
