Also, Greyfriars is no longer a College/PPH (but since there wasn't a page for it, just a link from [[Permanent Private Hall]]*, this isn't a problem). * which should probably be deleted anyway, along with other stuff that's covered by Wikipedia... Heh, just found this: http://oxford.openguides.org/wiki/?Visit_Every_College_In_A_Single_Day We (for some values of 'we' - a bunch of runners from OUCS) actually ran to every college for Red Nose Day (& to publicise our geolocation project) a few years ago. Here's our route: http://erewhon.oucs.ox.ac.uk/rednose/route.xml I might add a link, if it's not too much like self-promotion. :-} ['Oriental Food'] I'd've said yes to all of those but only because I have a vague idea that 'Oriental' is anything 'a bit Chinesey or Japanesey'. Oxford University still has an 'Oriental Institute': http://www.orinst.ox.ac.uk/ But I think if the term isn't useful and/or is going to cause lots of potentially-offensive argument about what 'counts', then we should just bin it. I don't think anybody will miss it! Hm, OK, that's a subtle distinction. (And you might go to a greasy spoon* to drink coffee if you're not fussy about your coffee & just want something warm, brown & caffeinated!) I think it makes sense though so I will try to stick to it... * which is not a category, but a search for it finds three of the four I can think of in Oxford. Hmm. Jx
