| Steve,
Christmas not Hanukkah!
Winding things back a bit I’m surprised no-one picked up on my Admiral Byng reference and the connection...

| Ah, you are being Candide !
We have lately been told Of two admirals bold, Who engag'd in a terrible Fight: They met after Noon, Which I think was too soon, As they both ran away before Night.

| Way back in the day we used to organise the Police promotion examinations from Constable to Sergeant and Sergeant to Inspector. There would be the serried ranks of eager policemen sat at desks in a large hall waiting to be told to turn their question papers over and begin. We lads would stick our heads around the door at an opportune moment, shout something very rude beginning "all coppers are.............." and scarper!

No quite the reverse, I was the one being blamed!
I’m currently on my way to Spithead.
