As a Yorkshireman - brought up in Lancashire ! - I should prefer Yorkshire Tea I guess, but I can’t really tell the difference, and it isn’t available in my N.Z. local supermarket anyway.

Supermarket tea ? English Breakfast is all I’ll ever drink. Any Brand. Keep your Earl Grey’s and the like. Not my cup of tea. ( Pun intended ) Flying around the world cured me of milk and sugar too, tea or coffee black is now my standard. All I needed was tea bags or instant coffee in my briefcase,...

He outlived the squash player (both in their 50s). I recall as a young co-pilot often flying with a couple of Captains in their late 40’s who exercised daily when down the route.

I’m currrently away from home, in the USA, and have replaced my NZ Sim card with a US One, which of course has a different number.

Mrs Exs. has just had to enter her DoB. into a website. The only option provided was todays calendar, and the only reverse arrow provided only moved the months, not the years, so it needed 1056 prods of the screen to get back to her 1937 date ! Should Life be this hard ? I hope she gets one of those...
