altarielA leaflet through my letter box this afternoon earnestly exhorts me to Experience Peterborough! I believe I shall continue to Eschew Peterborough!
One of my favourite things about Peter F. Hamilton's near-future detective books is that - as a result of global warming, rising water levels, and the flooding of the Fens - Peterborough has become a major port and, indeed, has a global reputation as a cosmopolitan city of the stature of New York, London, Sydney or... I don't know, that kind of place. Anyway, it's a good joke.
There are three of them, I think. I wish he'd do more. They sort of kind of remind me of Star Cops and that's a good thing.
