you are right, frank
i grew up in york and going to the york museum was one of the highlights of the school year- fabulous collection of stuff.
the museum was founded upon a collection of artifacts from a local doctor  -- dr. kirk - in fact the place was known as the kirk museum.
i don't know who decided to make real streets in the museum - but they are wonderful. 
one of the first views of the street when entering the museum, is from an upstairs window, looking down from one of the beautifully furnished period rooms - quite outstanding. 
my sister-in-laws brother was one of the curators before he retired. 
as you live on the other side of the world - when and why did you go?

another regular york event was my school taking us to concerts by the Halle [sir john babarolli] , LSO [sir thomas beecham - young persons guide to the orchestra, etc], etc. at a local cinema owned by the dad of john barrie - the composer of james bond themes and other hollywood music.
his family name was named prendergast, his dad owned  2 or 3 cinemas in the area. at xmas time his dad had a free saturday morning matinee for school kids and gave each kid a new shilling.
the Rialto was one of their cinemas; they had a huge wonderful electric organ with iights which changed colour; it arose from the cellar during the interludes with a real live organist, bloody impressive! 
there i saw the ted heath band [lita rossa, south african singer dennis lotis, the great don lusher, trombone, etc], humphrey littleton, eric "boom boom' delaney, lonnie donegan, paul anka, frank sinatra [only joking - i saw him in new orleans]. great times. 
i took my girl friend there every friday evening!

i must apologies for the poor presentation of this email.
i am using my apple computer - which is about the most un-intuitive [is that a word] system and time consuming anyone could possibly devize  - if you want to actually do stuff - as opposed to play.
Halk
f the videos i get it won't play, it delets backwards, there is no delete - onlt send to trash!...............
i am using it, but haven't yet succumbed to what the attraction is. so far it has  escaped me..........anothe rfew years.................
perhaps is is because i have not partaken of the apple juice mystique!
colin t
mistakes c/o apple.
