100
I had a phone call from the Queen today, or at least from a minion in the basement of Buck House. Yes my great Aunt will be 100, and she likes to be known as "Miss". And they will put it in large type. The palace and the Department of Work and Pensions seem admirably efficient about these things, although they can hardly be overstretched. I never even knew my great aunt had a job, but since she retired in 1962, that is hardly surprising. She built aeroplanes.

Wow - She has been retired for as long as I have been alive.
Thank her for me, will you, please? I used to love Austers when I were a lad spotting at Hurn (Bournemouth).
Happy Birthday!
