I read the piece through three times looking for the erstwhile
musician (who married my school friend).  I think he must have been

Does a single car count as a brothel?  "Ladies" sit in their cars at
well known pull-in spots along the N9 which runs near our French

years - one of them has recently upgraded from a small Fiat to a much
larger Citroen.  She must be doing OK.

So, do you have a point?
