Thanks to Noel Coward.

Leading lady -English woman in her 80's - frequent traveller, British and lives in Florida.



Spoke at length to all, authoritively on how the colonies were better off under the British than now, with corruption, infanticide, etc, etc, etc.



Me - had great trouble keeping straight face. When asked where I came from I said "Australia but I am very pleased we are no longer a colony."



Leading lady had lived in Pakistan with her husband in 1954.
