    Were you ever acquainted with Len Williams (John Williams’ father) who used to rear Wooley monkeys in Cornwall? It was a magical place full of magical monkeys.

    The last I heard, the entire Côte d'Azur was. Likewise any and all formerly huppé and/or desirable destinations. Not just oligarchs, either!
    I was a bit surprised to discover, during a formation in Paris a couple of years ago, that the proprietor of the AirB'n'B appart in the immeuble (9ième ) where I stayed was a depressingly young Russian :biggrin:

    Sorry, no :noidea:

    Out friendly monkeys are Red Colobus monkeys in the Jozani rainforest of Zanzibar. We were told that they tend to keep away from humans but I think they hadn't brushed up on the local information. One of them is my avatar.

      Sounds just as magical!

      Mrs Lab said to me earlier Why don't you, when you refer to "shiney", give him the capital he deserves?
      I said Well, he doesn't put a capital to his name under his avatar, and he's never complained, so I can only assume ...

      As I said that, I realised that, of course, one should NEVER assume ANYTHING.
      So, may I ask, what is your preferred typography for your name? I shall treat your answer with the greatest respect.

      Thanks for asking but you are welcome to address me in any way you wish. My staff quite often used "Oy You!" :whistle:

      'Your Highness' is also an acceptable appellation. :roflol:
