Some posts ago I said there are no longer any movie theaters in the UK

called “The Odeon.” A UKanian reader corrects me:

“No, John, things have changed again. There is, indeed a large chain of

Odeon cinemas (http://www.odeon.co.uk/), and although their website does

offer ticket purchases, the same booking charge applies online as to

purchases made via their call centre (which is what most people use).”

I was working from the fact that the Odeon in my home town was renamed to

something else last time I looked — Multimedia Fun-O-Rama Gigaplex, or some

such. Memo to self: Do not extrapolate from a single data point.
