For Alex

I have a lot of help from some wonderful people in researching parts of this series, but I would especially like to thank:

James Taylor and Terry Charman at the Imperial War Museum.
David Cooper at the Tower of London.
Daniel Armstrong at Waitrose Holloway Road for helping me to understand how supermarkets work.
And Jon Surtees at the Oval for a great guided tour that was slightly wasted on a non-cricket fan like myself.

I would thoroughly recommend a visit to any of these fine institutions, whether you want to check out the locations from the books or whether you are interested in English history and culture.
