I suspect this may have been the intention.
The Offspringette has whizzed in from Glasgow for a few days so off we set for a Croc-around .We did our "tour" of the famous sites, Mayflowers Steps et al.Had Cap'n Jaspar's been there in 1620 the Pilgrim Fathers may just have had second thoughts about departing.
