It occurred to me that the current unpleasantness might give Tash another
chance at getting to the UK.

Nellie the Elephant packed her trunk and said goodbye to the circus.
Off she went with a trumpety-trump Trump, trump, trump, trump.

Do you just ring a bell loudly and enquire as to our domiciliary status?

"Ain't yoo got no 'omes ter go to?" do you mean? That's only to
clear out the non-regs. Once they've gone we just slip the latch
on the front door and have a lock-in. The rozzers know to come to
the kitchen door to be let in when the lights are out.

When my father was running a drinking establishment on Cherryhinton
Road in that Cambridge there came an evening when around 12:30am a young
and fresh constable on the beat noticed activity within and banged on the
door with the traditional cry of "Police - Open Up". One of the customers
saved my father the trouble of letting him in, and he was let in to find
several people sitting at the bar and my father calmly serving drinks.

He was just getting his notebook and pen out (and no doubt
rehearsing his arrest speech), when the Chief Constable put down his pint,
turned round and looked at him. He got the message, the other three senior
officers at the bar didn't bother to react at all.

A very long time ago, in another life, I was a 'puterman. I'd been
sent by my firm to install the first two of a new kind of machine for
the Public Service Board (Civil Service) in Melbourne, Upside-down Land
and give the local engies some training. [long story]

The firm I was on loan to had put me up in the St Kilda Motel, just
a tram ride away from the work site. It was an ~interesting~ place...
Apart from the very best prawn cutlet bar snacks you could buy,
it had a VIP room just next to the reception area. I happened to be
passing the door one day when it opened and revealed at least a
couple of dozen of Melbourne's finest blue-suited gents, quaffing
Vic Bitter and playing cards in a blue haze of [ahem] 'baccy smoke.

All were fine a couple of days ago, Tash and partner were in a small
village and considering a foreign holiday...

Accommodation is available in Welsh Wales if desired.

That's good to know; thanks, John.
