Thanks @MariNisia - that’s a great compliment from such an accomplished player as yourself. I’m trying to get acquainted with the different pools and different rules, but will try to branch out a bit more and try some others next year

I was looking at the GRO Index only this morning ! Didn't realise how dangerous it was. Must be more careful in future.

She was on the cover of Country Life just prior to her marriage. Unfortunately the caption doesn't include her age, but does she look 16? In the '50s everyone looked older.

That’s what I questioned at first. Her DOB is missing on The Peerage, from Debretts, Wiki and an age is missing from her death notice, but it’s the only match on FreeBMD when I searched between 1920 and 1950.

Countess of Elgin was born in 1943 so 19 years younger than her husband. He has earned his place on The Immortals list by now.

This is not rape. Rape is when you say no or express disagreement and the thing still happens. What you describe is some implicit and vague compromise that everyone once in a while does in a relationship. Rape in a couple exists, should be taken seriously and this is absolutely not what you describe. Again, refer to the ongoing Pelicot trial for example. This is a myth that rape is only commited by stranger in a dark alley. 80-90% of rapes (or something like that ?) are commited by relatives. and still they are subject to criminal conviction.

A rape is a rape. There are situations more violent than others but it doesn’t depend on wether it’s coming from a stranger or your husband. Domestic rape can be violent too, you should follow the Pelicot trial for example. I’m not sure there are « better » rape than others to suffer, it depends on individual reactions and characters.

Re the inheritance tax on farms. I imagine what the government is trying to do is catch the billionaires who have bought up farmland as a tax-avoiding measure. But setting the bar at £1m is way too low. Similar mistake they made with the winter fuel payment - too many of the less well-off caught in the net.

If Rosalynn had made it to 2050 she would have surpassed Jeanne Calment in March for longevity of Oldest Person Ever.
