    Would it be cool setting building or a step too far for my Catholic England to keep 25 March as the start of the civil year?

    London without the Great Fire?

My current (constantly shifting based on whims and useful input) idea is that the City and Hackney (and possibly other areas) are the 'bad' parts of London.
