Thank you, a good time was had at the races. And in the balance sheet of information shared, I'm also now much richer in knowledge.   Not only did Arthur Rimbaud drink at the Yorkshire Grey in Langham Street, W1; Ezra Pound did as well, as evidenced in this excellent piece by James Campbell:  So it is that the two fiercest street-fighters of modern poetry, one French, the other American, shared the same London local.  Though not of course, at the same time. Shapesoftime imagines they did in another little gem here. All found via a tip from a Welsh sage.


In another strand of the conversation, a former BBC foreign correspondent remembers seeing Dominic Harrod, economics correspondent, buying a round in the Yorkshire Grey - "the folkloric-pub equivalent of photographing a Yeti".
