BK>Travel in summer, though (recognizable by studying the calendar), as I
BK>receive many complaints from Americans that we set our central heating
BK>thermostats too low.

   I've forgotten the name of the British-born American jour-
nalist (not Aristotle Cookie) who once wrote a funny best-seller
entitled �I Lost My English Accent�, but I believe 'twas he who
once advised his adopted fellow-countrymen, considering a trip to
the U.K., that although the English drink their beer (well, they
�call� it beer) at room temperature, usually the room is so cold
that American visitors would find it delicious.
