I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

GMP, remember I was talking about the 41/44 point in the 50s when I think the average expectancy for a male worker was 65 and it was fairly common for full career officers to die before they drew their OAP.

41/44 was well into late middle age. Remember also that real men smoked Players Extra Strong.
