Hi Liz Always pleased to respond to an Elizabeth !! This Ancient Brit. received his education ? when the map of the World was mainly coloured Pink and it took 6 weeks on a boat to reach that colony -- Australia. One went to Oxford or Cambridge (and then taught ), went into the City ( Old boy network ) or became a COLONIAL ADMINISTRATOR - to keep the Fuzzie Wuzzies in order whether black white or khaki. As a District Officer ( see Boys Own Paper ) one was usually on ones own except for faithful native servant + the odd priest. After all we all had to conform !!!!!! The most junior son was sent of to the colonies - places such as America were he would be faced with eliminating the natives in order to survive ??? A plentiful supply of meat would ensure that the red blood of youth would course through his veins with inevitable results. 20th century visit on a TWA Fly Drive East when Exchange Rate favourable very enjoyable after a disastrous start at Kennedy. Couldnt find Harvard ( Strange car and u/s navigator ) ( had also lost , at Kennedy, invitation to the Tea Party. Loved the icecream and totally non plussed by the size of pizzas. Disorientated by incorrect geographical positioning of familiar UK town names. The Fall - out of this world / Blue Mountains something else / soaked at Niagara. As for food -- have never lost the weight gain. A PWP, officially since April last year after 50 mins with Neuro. fascinating !! September 89 symptoms and since - unrecognised ( thought to be Benign Familial Tremor by 'Heart man' whom I also see ).
