Thanks Lily - please return my Bezzies to Michael as well as yourself.
Question: The song "How Much is that Doggie in the Window?" has an interesting connection with Liverpool.
What is the connection?

Hey, Graham, the ink isn't dry on the page!
Your right - Lita Roza, born in Liverpool singing the first number one hit by a female singer - 1953.
Your turn!

Also got told be very careful, a very dangerous city. Ken

I was looking for South West, Matt but you are correct. We picked up our armed contingent ( at sea) there for trip to Arabian Gulf then had to offload them before Dubai, then board them again until Suez Canal. Over to you Matt.

KLM always mentioned in their blurb that they were the first International airline but sure there will be a domestic line earlier, somewhere.

Some of the cabin crew on Aeroflot looked like they had been around at the start, as had their planes ( late 70/80s)
