Yes indeedy Bill.
It just makes me so very proud to have been born where it all began even if the rest of you have funny accents!!
And as for young Stephen in person he was a lot less intimidating than he
usually appears in print, and he was so polite that he almost apologised for his customary rudenes to me . well he expressed the hope that I understood that it was not personal but just the usual rivalry between Brits and Aussies (or words to that effect)
I was so taken aback I could not try to remember exactly how he phrased it
Anyway I was pleased to know he made it to Niagra, even if he was too late in the season to go on the Maid Of The Mist (which is arguably the world's best tourist bargain closely rivalling the Sydney HarboUr ferries!)
'Twas a shame that because of that Saturday outing he had to miss the group dinner at Mr GreenJeans
whose meatloaf was awesome
