Another clue: I would need to be where I was, to be where I have been suggested to be.

A lovely place it is too. I have often thought I might retire there as it's only half an hour from Edinburgh.

Well I AM in Perth. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I went through a body scanner at the airport and felt a little paranoid!

Daniel's question on cricket photography reminded me that we have not heard from this thread for a while. You must have thought of a question by now Owen?!

I hereby seize ancient powers.

Within the last few months I bought a bottle of an alcoholic drink. It was opened soon after purchase, and a glass drunk. My guess is that it will take me more than a year, and possibly several, to finish it. Indeed, I haven’t had another glass since. What is it, precisely?

A vermouth? Presumably you are well enough brought up to know that one only shows it to the glass from a distance when making a proper martini.

I completely agree that the correct quantity of vermouth is measured in parts per billion. But no, not that.
