Poor yorkie, while you were working your butt off - at the same age I was cruising the world on the Grey Funnel Line giving away the British Empire and enjoying it.
India, Pakistan, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Burma (Myanmar) and monitoring the UN and Lake Success (NY) whilst off Mogadishu before we handed Italian Somaliland back to the Italians at the UN's behest.
Walking the streets of Madras the day Gandhi was assassinated which caused tremendous rioting and killings. Then off to South Africa where pro Nazi Dr Malan beat our guy Jan Smuts.
Gotta admit I seem to put a jinx on everything.
Just got back from an evacuation with a fire in our apartment block. :)
