How nice a sign is this one which I saw in the window of the Speedwell Bar in Dundee: You are welcome to bring in baking from nearby Goodfellows or Fisher and Donaldson. 'Bring in baking': I love it! I liked it so much that I popped in for a few Tennent's lagers with a fellow conference delegate called Kent. One of the things I have come to like about conferences is that you always seem to end up meeting interesting North Americans who are keen to extend the conference day through 'shooting the shit' over a few lagers in a bar. I can't say that the lager was any good, in fact it was slightly horrible, but it was cold, the talk amusing, and the Speedwell is a really nice, listed Edwardian boozer.
