...but my experiences down i Gosford were rather unusual.

I kept on running into refrences to the TAO. While iw as in 2nd hand bookshop, I met someone who'd just been diagnosed with epilepsy. AS I'd had this myself, I was able to talk to him about it, and reassure him that he was doing the rignht think by taking the dilantin and seeing neurologists.

Also, I came across weird gifts, like lumps of coal (for naughty kids at Xmas) listening devices. Very odd.
