Tim. 22 is pretty old for a mog. Our Sweepy lived from 1983 until 1998, the time when your puss entered this world.

Tim. I am not sure about the time I became A fair dinkum Aussie. Certificate somewhere within my heap of files, but guessing would be the Mid Nineteen Seventies. Then again; I spent 4 months in Aus after WW2 while KGV was being repaired and my injuries were being fixed. but, that was 75 years ago. Not too many present-day strayans around then.

I was close to home when I saw the Coal delivery man open our front gate. I watched as the big lurcher dog from the mill mounted one of Auntie Parker's Scots Terriers in the flower bed. Auntie flapped her arm yelling "Someone do something"., The Coal man promptly dropped his sack of coal and grabbed then squeezed the lurcher's testicles. The poor dog, his his coitus interrupted,let out an unearthly howl and shot off down the road his back legs hobbling in a three legged sprint. My adopted uncle Robert was a queer old cove. he lived in a large three storey house by the river cherwell in Oxford with a man servant?.

The day he turned up late hot and flustered with a puncture I was sent to the Post Office to buy a puncture repair kit that cos

As was the usual thing the opening ceremony was always heralded by the arrival of the village Squire  The Hon Sir Marm
