Here is the link to the Baker street pub and grill FYI.

I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas full of love, joy and peace.
ps: If you hurry you might be able to find some goodies left over at Canterbury's British Imports on 34th and Classen! They still had some boxes of Milk Tray a couple of days ago

Is this normal?
Thanks!

*Please* tell me that you don't dress in the same manner or have hairstyles like hers (can't remember her name) during 'Good Life' appearances as well as her 'sensible' clothes which she wore in 'To the Manor Born'....

Now this is interesting - you thinking I sound like Margot Leadbetter/Penelope Keith ............ whereas Tom imagined me as
Kathy Burke! Internet forums can do funny things to perceptions... (I never got around to recording my voice - I'm hopeless with all things electronic; never even managed to listen to any of them...)Actually, I probably look and sound most like (a somewhat younger) Helen Mirren. (Same razor-sharp mind as Jane Tennyson in Prime Suspect, but hopefully better sense of humour!
) But it's useful to have the Margot number (complete with withering glance etc but minus the
clothes) as a back-up!

Once you feel at home on your new location you have the luxury to reminisce about decent fish 'n' chips or a vindaloo after the pubs close.
I have been to over 85 countries, having spent 26 years in the Merchant Navy, and my simple attitude is that home is where you rest your head at night, so get used to it ;-)
