this place... Weymouth - a small tranquil village! 
How far is my Stratford from here? 
my Stratford-on-Avon! 
The Shangri-la of a dramatist's imagination!

The picturesque setting of the Oxford University
Situates the hedonistic oriented Bullingdon Club

An argot not so clear,
Froth less, bubbleless beer,...
