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!)




Never surrender.
