In a town like London there are always plenty of not quite certifiable lunatics walking the streets, and they tend to gravitate towards bookshops, because a bookshop is one of the few places where you can hang about for a long time without spending any money.

I spent a lot of time in London’s bookshops, but rarely saw any lunatics in them. George must have been in different shops.
Cheers, Pete.

Charing Cross Road always was a good place to pick up, most punters would behave.
