'I expect I will be in some trouble with the care home, but it was worth it.'
Kinda reminds me of the Marine Corps in the late 60's....."What are they gonna do?....send me to 'Nam?"

I hope the Brits give him at least as enthusiastic a reception as Obama gave to Bergdahl.

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

It is enjoyable and funny to encounter the difference in usages between England/Great Britain and here in the States. We say caretakers, they say carers, we say "going to the hospital" and they say "going to hospital." Lots of others but just echoes the
"My Fair Lady" song "Why can't the English" The Scotch and the Irish leave you close to tears.
There even are places where English completely
disappears. In America, they haven't used it for years!
As for this gallant gent, "Atten-Hut, Hand Salute!"

What kind of jackasses would try to prevent him from going to this celebration in the first place? They’re the ones who should be investigated!
