Oh dear, At first I thought that it cannot be 50 years since the 1963 Profumo affair, but I see that it is entirely a different matter

you need to brush up on your language skills Philanthropist...as do all of us!!!...but don't worry, you're only one year off on the Profumo affair!

You can bookmark it now and be ready next year to make a killing!

My hubby is a bit of a history buff and a bit of a wag when it comes to the poetry of the time! This is his recollection of the verse that was going around at primary school at the time!

"Half a pound of Mandy-Rice Davies
Half a pound of Keillor
Put them together and what have you got
A pound of sexy sheila"

Nothing to do of course with that lovely stamp being issued for the Pharmeceutical Society.

It does show, that some people...never forget...interesting moments in history!

I always recall, my Dad saying that our dog (a Dalmation) named Mandy was "not related" ...took me years to work that out!!!
