    3. Hi List: Am not quoting Moira's personal reply as I don't have her ok, but didn't think she'd mind this little extract: ". . . when my brother . . . visited me in the US . . . [his passport] was quizzed by two Americans at Heathrow. He explained that when he was born Quetta was in British India. They said "not any more." Which reminded me that a few years ago when in the depths of self-pity & depression about illness, I said to the Doctor and her aide "I can't even buy a bloody gun to kill myself, because my passport shows I'm born in Quetta, Pakistan." They roared with laughter, and then of course so did I. It's the little things that lift the spirit. Claire.
