Susan Hill asks ...

One of my favourite novelists Susan Hill asks Madame Arcati what she was doing in a gay bar, or pit of iniquity (see Ted Heath post). I have replied: "I am a trawler for human experience and nothing and no one is beyond experiencing." I would also add that male gay bars are the safest place for women in these Asbo-ridden times - see the Times and Guardian front pages today ("Asbos are badge of honour" blah).
