When I posted a quick reply it did not show up. I refreshed the page at approx. 7am , no success but lo and behold it appears at 8.17. A temporary glitch?

Haiti ? Don’t they have regular ‘problems’ natural and man made?
Many years since my major incident and medical trauma training, I suppose it will all came back to me, probably just a bit out of date.

A land beset by problems none of which will be lightened by our arrival. We must, as diplomatically as possible, make our excuses and hightail it out of the Caribbean.
Brazil?

And just as I finished my voodoo doll of the Chequer's landlord. Will it still work if we don't go there?

After all the excitement of the US Presidential Election and the Melbourne Cup I sat down to watch a nice little programme I had taped, Abandoned Railways From Above. It was the line from Carlisle to Edinburgh through the Borders. A lot of time was spent at a disused WW1 explosives factory where they made cordite. To boost production they brought in an Australian chemist Cyril Callister, a capital chap who worked wonders.
On his return home in the 1920's he formulated Vegemite, yes your eyes are not deceiving you, and processed cheese, triangles one presumes. The Memsahib commented that putting Vegemite or Dairylea in the bombs instead of cordite would have shortened the war by 3 to 4 years. Put the kettle on, hen.

Thanks ES - another of the many things that I did not know!
I am glad that your Memsahib recognises the value of Vegemite even if you don't. Here is a small gift for her.
