I used to shop there all the time when they were in Marblehead, MA!! I knew they sold up to move to England but hadn't heard anything else. The store in MA is still a bookstore and is now called Artists and Authors and I still play with DJ the cat when I go there!Leebothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15772451866981084734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-90091251203235106302007-08-01T22:36:00.000+00:002007-08-01T22:36:00.000+00:00???I remeber seeing an illustration in a body lang...???<BR/><BR/>I remeber seeing an illustration in a body language book some years ago where those brought up in villages would greet new people at a couple of metres distance, in towns with a handshake but at arms length, and those raised in cities would come in for a close (arms bent) handshake.bye bye bellulahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14578559811447603363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-37820782794042532902007-08-01T19:38:00.000+00:002007-08-01T19:38:00.000+00:00I'm sure that's part of it.

I'm wary of imposing my views on others: when I go to a beach I will happily walk for 30 minutes to find a small bay where there aren't any other people, but lots of people seem to actively enjoy being part of a crowd. <BR/><BR/>I remember being the only person on the upstairs of a bus. A couple got on and sat immediately behind me.

Only Japan (338.4) and India (328.9) of the big places are more densley populated. The world as a whole, 42.9, the US 31.7. Scary when you think about the UK's open spaces and mountains and coastal areas that are fairly sparsely populated. <BR/><BR/>I wonder if some of the nostalgia for times gone by is that there was more room to stretch?bye bye bellulahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14578559811447603363noreply@blogger.com
