Blighty Beer O'clock

It's official: 1814hrs

Now that the tourismo hordes are descending, I am girding literary loins for my annual mewling about t' folks 'back home'.

Silly reelly: I don't know why I use that phrasing coz

1. Me actual true belovèd kin folks are beyond the horizon in Seattle-en-Mer
2. Blighty hasn't been back any sort of home for me since Perissodactlya trotted the shires.
