Chris, I just noticed The Quote of The Day :
" Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened..."
- Winston Churchill "

The more I learn about Sir W, the less everything I was taught about WW2 seems to make sense .. Just the fact that he decided to leave his Lodge (or 'Club' as The Brits call it) is really making my head spin ..
Normally, that only seems to happen by ' self- asphyxiation ' in Old Blighty ..
