The old man was over working in Tehran the last time it all kicked off staying just along from the US Embassy. He brought back some recordings he had made of the crowds which were quite impressive, they had full orchestras marching with them so a jolly good racket was heard. Apparently that time he could go out as by declaring yourself British was okay. I presume now that might not work.

Some mates of my elder brother happened to be in Tehran on the day of he Revolution - far from being revolutionaries they were on the Hippy Trail from Glasgow en route to Kashmir - I recall they mentioned altough it was very noisy - no hame came their way .

They had to concoeal their stash of smuggled whiskey bottles whcih I was told were eventually traded by an obliging hotel porter for some Hash .

They're student protestors. As a barometer of Iranian popular opinion they probably shouldn't be taken any more seriously than one would take the protestors outside St Pauls.
