And old habits die hard Alec, It is 50 years ago last March I left the BF but still refer to cabins as rooms. This is a coincidence as just prior to my previous post on this thread I replied to John Sabourne on the Capt Leslie Wild thread and I referred to a cabin as a room therein and thought that some might comment only to find your reference to this very BF peculiarity.

Gentlemen, Thank you for all your replies, even though some of them were under the influence when written. lol.
I now have the information of said bell "Gladiola" and the Golf club secretary is going to mount the information and picture in the clubhouse.
Sorry I could not get back to you all before this, as I have been a little under the weather of late. Am going for an operation this week, so
until I return, fair wind and weather to you all.
George
