Edinburgh

In 1940, engaged in my duties on behalf of His Majesty, I had
occasion to abandon my Spitfire in rather difficult
circumstances. In doing so, I lost my left shoe. I claimed for
reimbursement but was told by the powers that were that
frivolous claims of that nature on the public purse would not
be tolerated.

I can only look with awe and admiration on the scale and
ingenuity of our parliamentary representatives. To paraphrase,
"Never in the field of British politics has so much been
fiddled from so many by so few".
