I saw a "trick-or-treater" at my front door just now wearing a "Desert Fox 1" tee-shirt. I asked the youngster what frightening character he was supposed to be.

He stroked his artificial grey whiskers with a chocolate-besmeared little fist and replied: "I'm Colonel Phil Laker; Santa's worst nightmare!"

Thanks for all the innovative toys, Colonel,and a very Happy Birthday...whether you want to fess up to it or not!
