Thank you Pete. I am glad your WX is due to improve. I am waiting for the
sudden change we have been promised at midnight (Fri 25th) a warm
airstream is due to hit making tomaorrow warmer and causing a thaw. Temps
will increase for several days accompanied by rain so the snow and ice
should soon be gone, 12 deg C on Tuesday that's +12 not -. I don't know
whether it will continue but it never gets as bad as yours does.
As for the doubles know that Churchill and De Gaulle both had doubles, in
fact De Gaulle had the most for the longest which was difficult
considering he was a very tall man. Talking of films, If you ever watch
The Day of the Jackal, made in 1960, you will see how they have several
tall men as well as the actor playing De Gaulle himself. De Gaulle upset a
lot of his people by his attitude towards Algeria but I won't get into yet
another war, suffice it to say that there weree a lot of attempts on his
life before and after the film was made.
I know that now, if you go to Paris and walk along the Avenue De Gaulle
and the Avenue Charles de Gaulle and visit the Place De Gaulle at the
bottom of the Eifel Tower, especially if you have landed at Charles De
Gaulle airport, you could well think that he was a much loved angelic man
- not quite true :-)
Even Hitler had some doubles, no one is quite sure how many but, when the
Russians were digging through the garden of the Bunker after his death,
they found a man who they thought was Hitler but the dental records and
the fact that he had darned socks, proved that he wasn't Der Fuerer.
As for the Official Secrets Act. I have signed it twice and am still
careful what I say. It is just a folded piece of scruffy, recycled paper
but they are very serious about the panalties. When I signed it, that was
a penalty of 5,000 Pounds and 14 years in Gaol for divulging information
to anybody and a death sentence in time of war if one divulged secrets to
any member of a foreign power. There is nothing special about that.
Policemen and Postmasters all sign it as a matter of course but it does
make you very careful about what you say and to whom.
