You wouldn’t get to more than about an eighth of it, honestly, Twellies. It was the whole of the Alexandra Palace, absolutely full with stalls, and even with the best will in the world I suppose we managed two-thirds in a day just looking. Then my back went… And today my legs ache. There is nowhere to sit, and one has to go slowly because it is so crowded. ---
