How many specifically ruby shops are there around the UK which are  
like Murray described? I know plenty of web shops in general are like

Rubyland. Perhaps not.

Here we go :) It'd be great if it did. Perhaps I'm too cynical - I  
just feel it'll be doomed to failure unless it's peer led, owned by  
the community, and not just driven by 'who you know'.
