    Hi Iain,
    glad you liked LOST or DROWNING MAN as it's called in some territories (confusing and irritating as this is). I came across some brilliant books in doing the research, including UNDERGROUND LONDON by Stephen Smith, LONDON UNDER LONDON by Richard Trench and Ellis Hillman and THE LOST RIVERS OF LONDON by Nicholas Barton. It's a fascinating subject (albeit smelly).
    Best

    Hi Iain
    The waiting can make you crazy. So I just keep writing.
    I admire short story writers. I love to read them, I just can't write them.

    Cheers, Iain. I suspect Barnsley remains more likely than Barcelona! It's nice to upset a few of our supposedly superiors, though :-)

    Best of luck with the writing - the shorts are great.
