RE: I don't personally

do you want to go to anything specific, like an art gallery - or are we talking pubs and restaurants?

Clarkes in the National Portrait Gallery

Just searching for Sir Fred Clarke, who seems to be related to the wife's family but not to our Clarkes, and I'm not sure if this is him in the National Portrait Gallery or not, but here's a list of other Clarkes who are. Hold your mouse over their n...

The announcement no-one was waiting for
