WE SHOULD BE TOLD

Major embarassment at Changing fo the Guard on Monday when could not identify flags, had to ask (two) policemen and eventually found out they were of Ghama, country I was born in! My excuse is that it was the Gold Coast in those days (before independence) and the flag is different. In fact they were there for the state visit to comem 50 years of independence and (by African standards) reasonable stability. This infor should have been in new Guild/APTG diary bt was not so will suggest its inclusion - all very well knowing that the Q is visiting the Asociation of toilet flushers and handwashers on a particular day but we should be told what the flags are.
Off on tour next week and the main problem as usual will be how to seem to run a reasonably paced tour while still managing to fir in the optionals - can we do the N Wales tour on a day which takes us from Bath to Lancaster via wedgwood and Chester? Can we do an evening out after a day in Cornwall that includes Looe, St Ives and Lands End? Dare we go 'the wrong way' around the Ring of Kerry in order to get to the early banquet at Bunratty, which seems the only option given that we are staying at Kenmare rather than Killarney? Who thought up these itneraries anyway. We should be told.
Actually it was a combination of yours truly, Paul Fleming with Christine 'creative' Upton and the people who choose the hotels in all the wrong places...
