Thank you eMailman for "inspiring" my responses to IO's questioning (as opposed to PM's questioning) on my next trip to LHR
Superb, superb. BTW, do let us all know when they finally drag you away.

All things considered, no reason not to have a bit af fun for all concerned.....
IO: What is the purpose of your journey?
Me: If I have the idiom correct, I'm going on a ripper down Jermyn Street and leaving a pile of Sterling behind.
IO: That's what we like to hear.
On another occasion-
IO: What is the purpose of your journey?
Me: I have an appointment with my tailor.
IO: So, like things British do you?
Me: Well, if you've tried to have a suit done by Brooks Brothers reciently, you wouldn't be asking me that. There is no where else to go.
Some day, I'll probably be dragged away, but until that day comes
