During a flight back from Egypt, it occured to me, whilst resetting my watch back yo UK time, that the the whole world gets its time from England (Greenwich to be precise). As I mused over this fact, I was lead to summise that not only does England dictate the time to the world, but that this must also mean the English are the Lords of Time, ergo me being English, that would make me a Time Lord. :-D

On the plane a 12oz cup of coffee was 2.35 GBP. A 1 litre bottle of Vodka 11 GBP. Now which offers the best value for money? "Oh trolley dolly, 1 bottle of Vodka please" ;P
