I realize

...that this could be the wrong place, and perhaps the wrong time; but, could we have a thread about interesting things to see and do on Threadneedle Street?

My company fitted some ductwork somewhere on Threadneedle St. I don't know which building so perhaps you could just look out for some interesting ductwork.

I wouldn't bank on it.

This question is on the wrong Thread

[DTCwordfan]

(but very good)

[Postdog]

You are a right merchant banker aren't you!

[DTCwordfan]

Now the Wilkipedia entry makes this question a lot more interesting

//The name of the street (Threadneedle) could also be a euphemism for its possible former name, Gropecunt Lane, "called for the simple reason that it was a famous haunt of prostitutes//

[stewey]

Do the bankers hang out on Threadneedle Street? Harley Street is for doctors right?

[DTCwordfan]

they didnt half name things bluntly back then.......imagine calling your local street that today!

[stewey]

Much too cryptic, hm. I assume you are talking about Theseus in Greek Mythology?

Well, I'm off to the bar now, and talking about crosswords I always take one with me...Cheers.
