La Brioche Dore does indeed have seats in many of their locations. Conversely, many of the McDs and Burger Kings in UK train stations don't have seats. -- David Horne- http://www.davidhorne.net usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk http://homepage.mac.com/davidhornecomposer http://soundjunction.org

I found in the US that when I spent a lot of time in an a/c environment, I would get unusually large number of 'sniffles' and colds. I used to go to a gym in Philadelphia which was in a hotel which in 1976, had a rather infamous convention of the American Legion! :) That said, I have to admit that for my sins, I twice sought air conditioned spaces yesterday while walking around town. An ice coffee in Starbucks for half an hour, and then dinner at Tampopo, where we made a conscious choice to avoid the restaurant we'd originally planned to go to, because it felt too hot... -- David Horne- http://www.davidhorne.net usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk http://homepage.mac.com/davidhornecomposer http://soundjunction.org
