Have you been to Hay-on-Wye Ray? I could get lost in the many book shops for years - although there were precious few westerns when I visited last.
If you, me and Gary (and anyone else) wanted to meet up someday then Hay would make for an excellent rendezvous.
Steve - I have been to Hay-on-Wye many times. We lived in Ross-On-Wye for a couple of years and, so I am told, I went off to Hay a couple of times a month. One day I will go that way again.
