Really?

Methersgate, do you really believe what you wrote?:

...never, ever, opium or any other illicit substances, neither grown, nor traded, nor carried.

My old memory cannot recall the title but a book I read some years ago suggested that Swires did in fact do what you say they didn't but were highly successful in not getting caught.

I do, however, as do you, give them credit for what they have done since the late 1860's - with, of course, one glaring episode that did them no credit whatsoever.

Great post PW.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, so I suppose I am guilty as charged.

BTW, where does North Europe start? Is Suffolk there?
