The content of the OP arrived with other letters bearing Christmas news - and was from a writer known for his story-telling ability to varied audiences who generally receive his jokes well. He has passed up his right to reply for fear of precipitating something akin to World War III. However I can assure his many new admirers that his trip commenced in Sydney before stopovers in Vienna and New York with a return across the Pacific. He retains a large swag of QFF points.
In case you are interested he had an enjoyable holiday - and also retains his friendly manner! From those who have read my previous posts - so do I!
