Talking to one of the guys at the Orval, the scenario went something like this:
Spent 10 years in Africa: all over the continent. (S.A., Rhodesia [it was then!], Kenya, Uganda, Gabon, Central African Empire, Gambia, Sudan, Egypt etc.)
Later spent considerable time in the Caribbean.
Never took any pills, always wore long sleeves and long trousers, never caught Malaria, drank loads of Gin and Tonic! (No ice thank you! Catch nasty things from ice!)
As for Marmite? Much better on toast, with marmalade!
‘Specially for CD… The real ‘quote’ is:
"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
