Discovering a new city can be fascinating....but annoying if you get lost....which I do. To cure this, I have invented a new game. If you surf the cable channels during unsociable hours you are bound to find an episode of "Tales of the Unexpected". These were made in Norwich in the 70's. The trick is to gather clues and find the locations. Clues ( Read more... )
