I often find that I can only remember the first letter of something --
for example yesterday I was looking for a pub in Wimborne, and I knew it
began with "P" -- eventually we stumbled across the "Pudding and Pye"
and then I remembered.
What does that say about how my brain stores information?
The music in the P&P was excellent, BTW.
