Well, I mean, there's a Marks & Sparks on High Street too, but you can do that in any village from here to... do they have Marks & Sparks in Scotland?
...I lie. Exeter has the cutest Royal Albert Memorial Museum ever, including two stuffed albatrosses, a stuffed giraffe, a number of 19th century sea creatures preserved in alcohol, and a whole room of antique clocks that are all set to real time, most of which have bells or cuckoos.
Exeter is a lovely town. I and my first love always used to meet under the giraffe in the museum.

Jars still in Dublin? Huh.
SA, I'll be in Dublin! Or various parts of Ireland. Oct 24-Nov 1. Though I may end up having to rearrange that some, for work.
SA, meara, if either of you want to meet up while you're in Dublin, just mail me at my profile addy. I think it's about time I saw another Buffista in the flesh.
Meeting other flesh-Buffistas is only to be recommended.

Awww man, I want to meet Fi and Benno and Mr. Fi.
Likewise, Mr. & Mrs. and young Master Zmayhem. SF is looking a looong way away right now, though, sadly.
Hey Fiona, I think I'm going to be in Germany next summer! The plan is to visit my friend in Berlin for a couple of weeks, but I'd also hope to get out of the city and see some of the country too. How close to Berlin are you? Sorry, I'm shamefully ignorant of German geography.
