Numbers are not my forté

3 1 1 1 1 1 1 You would not believe how many times I counted up that tally and made 11. I packed what would fit of my Dulaan items into a big shoe box and filled in the inventory form – the three purple hats could be grouped together, the other items were [...]

A Brit watching an Austrian perform at the Swiss Music Club in France. Surely that deserves some kind of “Outstanding Achievement in Being Cosmopolitan” Oscar? The reason I was in Cannes ten days ago actually goes back to 2nd August 1998, when my brother turned on the TV in our holiday chalet in Germany and [...]
