Is Violet a shrinking violet inasmuch as she has not the confidence to speak out loud? Or was she the sort of shrinkling violet who declined invitations to dance from ugly buggers like Cashy?

If that was B.V. crusader, her late brother was one of me best mates.

I always thought it was called " The Arcs...". Short for Arcadium???
Have I been wrong all these years?? we used to say we were going up the Arcs!

dunno we always called it the arts, but probably arcs would be the correct term.

Was both to me ... but always used Knowlemere Street myself, however, knew what was meant when it was referred to as th'Arcs. Haha .. time for a poll ? No ... don't think so.
