Domicile, I'll PM you about the book ...
As a further taste, there was in UK before the last war a famous, ultra-intelligent and witty Barrister whose name was F E Smith. On one occasion Smith was questioning a witness:
"So what you are in fact saying, is that you were as drunk as a judge?"
At this point the judge leaned forward and intervened: "I think you will find, Mr Smith, that the expression is "as drunk as a Lord".
F E Smith's reply was unhesitating: "As your Lordship pleases!"
Tony (I love it!)
