ReplyDeleteMirabile dictu ! but the truth of the matter is that this event took place darn nigh 60 years ago. I recall it with total clarity, in contrast with yesterday's events which are already fading into obscurity. Although sartorially challenged when compared with the previous year's team, following JEST's comments our heroes were forever afterwards known as "The Immortals". Anyone doubting the veracity of these tales should turn up their Tacitus and his account of the battle of Mons Graupius.
keep well and warm ~~~~~~~ geoff.
We didn't have the facility of commenting about the photos etc. on the MSN site, and I think it will prove to be a big advantage.
