rich source of politics :-)
It is important that the high priests from the Cathedral visit the
Bazaar regularly otherwise the parishoners will see them as remote
aliens who have no real interest in them and the collection plates will
then dwindle.
Thank you for that Ian - amusing and insightful, very helpful.
