Title: Fairport - Computer activated!

The writer said he would choose a listed entry where there was nothing other than the heading and add his own narrative. He went on to say he'd choose something he knew something about and he choose.... Fairport Convention - "Jewel in the Crown" - surprisingly, small world i thought.

But a fun place to visit if you carry some salt.
