Ooooh goooody a chance to remind all that Our Jerry and Milti and my sort of good self sort of met Cherie Blair last year... well she def smiled at us, and am pretty sure she mouthed "good morning" to me ..... and we def met and chatted with the CY National Heroes Mssrs Candounas and Apostolides, and they treated us to a glass of champagne... and it don't get much better that that.

Think will remind Our Jerry that we have a date to meet the famous Basil Nodear at the Old Bailey, London, later this year, to see the alleged Orange Stealer of Morphou sent down.

In October 1962. The then Vice-President of the USA, Lyndon B Johnson, paid Cyprus a visit. Doubtless he had talks deciding the fate of Cyprus. He met with a crowd of Turkish Cypriots near the Ledra Palace Hotel. I was a member of the Lyce band attempting to play the Star & Stripes something. What a noise we made. We only had half-hour to practice it. He shook my hand and asked how long had we been playing that music. I said that day was the first time we ever heard of it.
I mentioned this when the subject came up a few years back, but I could not find the newspaper clip. Sorry it is in black and white and the paper has turned yellow. No need to point me out.
