As a former student of the University of Keele, I am shocked and stunned that the place is actually home to something interesting!
For those who've never been, Keele is a village on top of a hill with a University which was built on the land of an old RAF site, hence the link with Kew in this case I would guess.

altho to be fair, if you have friends using windows, they would surely need taking out and birching anyway, so upsetting them with a mere turn of phrase should be the least of your worries

Or was that last year.... either way, it filled an afternoon or two round these parts.
If this book ever sees the light of day it may just shatter a few myths about how exciting or otherwise 'hacking' really is.
