Just one small correction: I’m not American. I am English, with a light seasoning of Welsh, but after twenty years in a mixed marriage I do speak (almost) fluent Amurican.

And, before I jump down off my high horse which, incidentally, I ride on the left side of the road the better to swing my sword arm, may I say that it is also possible to lead a happy life without 110 volt electricity or mixer taps. That’s faucets to you, dear American reader.

The pace quickens. Only fourteen sleeps till pub day.
