Chug - and then neither does Phil the Greek. Early in theGW1 when the Royal were getting flak for not "supporting our boys (and girls I guess)" I was rung on a Thursday and asked if we would take a visit from him on TUESDAY! Staish (Reg McK) is in Germany so rang to give him the good news, and got the inevitable "fix it". So I did, first port of call the nursery school. HRH grinding teeth.
Roll 10 years or so and I am representing R Lym YC at Princess Royal's birthday bash at Windsor. D of E approaches group I am with and people start to introduce themselves. Before I could say anything he grins and says "We have met before, at Wyton, and you took me to the nursery school". Said to minder "That was a good brief". No says the flunky, a good memory, he never forgets a face". Thought that was me for the Tower.
