For fans who have visited York to attend past Nelsonicas, here is a video I've found on youtube which shows the City under lockdown conditions. It's beautifully shot, peaceful and yet eerie with streets devoid of the shoppers and tourists who normally throng the streets. I haven't been into York for several weeks now and watching this made me long for normal circumstances to return, though sadly it may be a long time yet before anything approaching 'normality' might become possible.

Thanks for posting this, Bill. I normally stay at The Judge's Lodging Hotel in York every April, as still have lots of fab friends - we all used to work together when I lived in Yorkshire. Miss it tons.........….
Really a lovely city. My goodness, though, was that a FIVE GUYS burger emporium at about 40 seconds into the video? 😳

Yes. Westminster GOZT - Government Of Zero Talents.
The place looks beautiful with or without the humans knocking about.

In San Francisco, the coyotes are on the prowl, but I've not seen one yet. In Paris, France, it's big, fat pigs speeding down the boulevards. In Llandudno, Wales, it's amazing-to-behold wild goats. Big stags in West London, relaxed and confident, flamingos have taken over Mumbai, etc.
