I imagine that things must have changed (improved !)in the intervening years. We were 'entertained' overnight by the Resident, a fine old 'Raj' style individual who could best be described as eccentric!! His diet was, apparently Heinz soup and gin and he looked remarkably well on it. He had been there for a great many years and did not want to leave. He had imported and installed several UK road signs "Steep Hill", Sharp Bend" , Dual Carriageway, etc., - not, perhaps, essential for an almost flat island containing only one vehicle - his Land Rover!!! Interesting days but never an ambition to return.
