The entire British officer class in World War One came from Surrey. Fact. They certainly were... Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

If M Kid had been a PoW, she’d have had ample time for a bit of embossing, and to make another hurdy gurdy |

Hi everyone - late as usual. And I have been posting, but when I press 'Post Reply' it throws me off the forum - does it do that to anyone else? I read King Solomon's Mines and She as a teenager, and enjoyed them. More recently I have read quite a few John Buchan novels - John Macnab and Sick Heart River are my favourites. |
