And a bit of raving from Lady Starlight …

* I think you’re right, there, Olga! It’s the same with my job: if an engineer gets held up at one repair, it causes a domino effect and delays the rest of the day’s repairs.
† That it is, Debbi! (Fenella Fielding, the Vamp character in the trailer? You’d know the sound of her voice: she the Village Voice, in The Prisoner.)
