For those of you interested in Hitch-Hiker's Guide trivia (H2G2)
the name of Ford's Disaster Area 'Wow, did he ever make it mega-big'
friend Hotblack Desiato is taken from an estate agent's operating
in West London. I actually saw one of these signs in Swiss Cottage
and was sorely tempted to relocate it on my bedroom wall.
PBT, the H2G2 know-it-all.
