But in the meantime, perhaps there's a dog Stateside who can strike some poses on my behalf?? Cheers, Mr.P Nate – If you can sort an old dog with a passport and plane ticket, I’ll be over in Chicago in a flash!

I've just been reading about it here: http://www.bbpt.org/floralhall.php. Perhaps you'll be able to visit it on a Doors Open day, if they ever open it up to the general public again? Thanks for alerting me to it! Mr.P Oooh, Dottie – The Floral Hall looks wonderful, it beats the cupboard under the sink where my food is stored, that’s for sure!

I've posed in front of the Beresford Hotel already (and, thinking about it, on Beresford Avenue in East Twickenham - though not on the same day) but my PA seems to have "put the photos somewhere safe" and we're just waiting for her to remember where... It's been a while now, so another visit to both locations is probably in order. We'll take a nice trip to Largs whilst we're about it - treat ourselves to a tasty ice cream. Mr.P Thanks Graham –

Not technically factories but I think you should do the Beresford building on Glasgow's Sauchiehall Street and Nardini's in Largs. What a concept for a website.

But such a gorgeous building, they use it to store the elephants food these days. From Dottie the Scottie The Floral Hall, sadly derelict and I can’t get into it because it’s inside Belfast Zoo!

For more information, come to the Chicago Public Library /ChiPubLib/ and ask for Nate.

Unfortunately my flying days are over, but my manager is regularly talking about heading back to the antipodes with expressed purpose of visiting Napier and Melbourne (as you may remember she went to Melbourne Uni for a year way back when). I'd love to visit both these places, but I guess they'll have to find some other mutt to pose in front of the buildings and I'll just look at the photos instead - sorry I won't get to meet you in the flesh. Have you seen what Melbourne Heritage Action are up to? Worth checking out their site: http://www.melbourneheritage.org.au/ Cheers, Mr.P Hey Emma,
