Apart from the Empire, there was also countries known as "British Protectorate", in which I think the British was in charge of all external affairs. You're right Peter, all this came to an end on the shores of the state of Kelantan, North Eastern Malaya on the South China Sea side, when the Japanese Imperial Army landed in 1941. Singapore situated on the Southern tip of Malaya was the last to go.

Darkroom work is still very much alive with our local club, that is why I do a lot of B & W and Films are easily avaliable in our local shops. As for B & W photographic papers, it has to be special ordered. Hye

In the 50s, board and lodging was free, kept busy 9 months of the year enjoying life on my island in the sun, last quarter of the year study the minimum to go to the next grade. Those were the carefree days.

I lived with RHD until I came over to France, now I'm living with LHD, must say both sides feel the same

Thought I'll share part of my past here. The nearest I got to see a flying fortress is one of its undercarriage. Must have been in 44. My dad with me and some of the residents in our area went to a field nearby where an undercarriage of the flying fortress was put on display by the Japanese occupying forces.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the welcome, believe me, once you have tasted frog legs you will always prefer it to chicken. Sadly this dish is not so common in our area. Its duck land in the Tarn & Garrone. Here we have our famous Cassoulet (cooked with ducks) and Boudin (sausage stuffed with pig's blood and onions), I better stop, I'm getting hungry, Cheers

Just to be fair to the others, I do use them occassionaly, one way of exercising them. Excuse me if I sound like talking about my pets, but they are my pets. Cheers Hye

You're right, one of my eccentrics and that is not amusing to my better half. I keep all the boxes with the items I buy, luckily we have an attic and I store them in one corner where nobody goes. In fact, I'm in charge of cleaning the attic so for the moment I'm pretty safe. Cheers Hye
