Richard Goss DIDNT write:

"town", "country".

Now I realise that as a mere whippersnapper on Strathspey, I should know
where such venerable contributors as Richard come from, particularly since
he has alluded to unpacking of attics and various rural activities.  But I
hoped my request for signatures would tempt him into revealing his
whereabouts.  Can someone else oblige?

As he himself has mentioned on various occasions, Richard Goss dwells in a 
castle-like abode on the island of Mallorca (off the coast of Spain, in the 
Mediterranean). This explains his frequent digressions into the living and 
dancing habits and linguistic foibles of his Mallorquin neighbours.

Not quite sure what castle like means. 
In my case, thick stone walls, 4 storeys high, old - true./ large - no 
(I only have a 4 m street façade)

For those of you familiar with the story of <<Tarzan>>, and think of 
castles, I suggest you visit Greystoke Castle, its foot print is 
sufficient for a two car garage, but is 3 stories high. I use this as a 
comparrison for those who have never seen a real castle. In the remake 
of the film a few years back, they used the real Roxburgh Castle as 
Greystoke, of which two of such would fit in Roxgburgh´s great hall. 
When they did the most recent Mary Queen of Scots film, they could not 
use the contemporary parts of Hollyrood, as the rooms were too small to 
have cameras, lights, and action. In the earlier (Hepburn) black and 
white version, the grand stair case of Holyrood (should have been a 
spiral too narrow for two to pass), would have put Buckingham Palace to 
shame, not to mention all those actors running around in modern 
military kilts and sets.
