One of my loyal colonial subjects who lives in a far flung corner of the Empire very kindly arranged for a book to be sent to me. It gave me a jolly good idea.
I had a hankering to own another county (US - State) and had set my heart on Kent; I thought it would be terrifically handy, with instant access to the Channel Tunnel, to be able to do the odd booze run at my convenience.
It didn't quite go to plan.

I then realised that I had read the book upside down .............. silly me. Never mind, there are plenty more where that came from.


(I must enter him for Mastermind. Specialist subject 'Novel ways of making losing money', or as an alternative, 'Budgerigars, and how to breed them'. Let me see , how did it go.....take two cock birds, leave in a cage for six months. Until light dawns. He was very young - about twenty five and three quarters I think . Lo,TG Ed)
