The 'problem is that Holmes' creator, author Arthur Conan Doyle, gave him an address of 221B Baker St. There is no 221B today, but there is a Abbey National Building Society, one of Britain's biggest homa loan companies. Postmen deliver the Holmes letters there.

"My biggest mistakes in life were getting married twice. But fortunately I divorced one and am separated from th-a other.

Now, hurrah I live alone and love it. "For nearly half a century I worked hard six days a week I ran a couple of small stores and was on the job 16 hours a day for decades. A lot of good it did me.

She said she hoped vitamins or something could be prescribed as he was nervous and lacked energy.
