It is Harold Macmillan, isn't it? He doesn't look quite as I remember him, but I often get mixed up between Macmillan and Eden. In that picture he doesn't look like either of them to me.Good to hear from you Derek. I hope you and Marjorie are keeping as well as possible. That reminded me of images from times past - attached. Taken from this piece - gentler times (Cuban crisis notwithstanding) one feels. Not better or fairer and materially so much worse for many despite you've never had it so good - no quinoa , kefir or gaucamole, smart or dumbphones, I didn't even have Sky in my bedroom- but less "edge." Most here will be able to wander down memory lane via that image and the article. He nailed the, I imagine to him vulgar/common, Grocer's daughter (good man) and one imagines he would have excoriated Johnson.
This year, 2024, will see many important elections taking place around the world and, while political rule by patricians motivated by noblesse oblige has had its day, modern politicians could learn a lot from this man born in 1894, notably how to conduct themselves with dignity and authority. Some hope.
Hug for slowly flaking out with the hottest part of the day and presumably an uncomfortable night still to come. Despite that you still shared a creative for a podium finish. Lots in that creative so I've tried to enlarge it to give proper appreciation and due credit. Keep as cool as possible.Fbg 6.8

Definitely MacMillan, later Earl of Stockton. Eden's brand was, shall we say, mixed. Rab wasn't too sure if this is accurate - the image wasn't thereIt is Harold Macmillan, isn't it?

Ah I looked at the picture first and then read the article. Those were gentler days for most. Maybe just because I was young then.
I just remember Eden as being a handsome man but an idiot to get us involved in the Suez fiasco.Definitely MacMillan, later Earl of Stockton. Eden's brand was, shall we say, mixed. Rab wasn't too sure if this is accurate - the image wasn't there

Thank you @ianpspurs - ankles have had a talk about showing off but they never listen and sit aloof atop my feet, waiting.Hug for the disturbed sleep and possibly/probably? for #anklegate later. Thank you for sharing today's splendid example of your artistic gifts. I like the autumnal colours in that piece and autumnal colours generally. I don't like the cooler weather, never really did, all those ridiculous layers of clothing, shorter days, darker evening and nights ; an all too visible reminder of our mortality. Previously I consoled myself with food which is far too high carb for Elsie Keto. There's a reason adaptation and abomination are spelled differently.
There may be some famously lurking at the back of a drinks trollyDo you have much to grouse about?
If you were a Grouse you would, it's the glorious 12th.

Thanks very much @ianpspursHug for slowly flaking out with the hottest part of the day and presumably an uncomfortable night still to come. Despite that you still shared a creative for a podium finish. Lots in that creative so I've tried to enlarge it to give proper appreciation and due credit. Keep as cool as possible.

Too much wheat for me!How much!!!!
Watch your blood pressure there Elon. None of us will take it with us. You need a splenetic emoji and a username changed to disgusted of Saltburn.How much!!!!
Interesting:Too much wheat for me!
Lots of industrial ingredients in this, probably tastes like cardboard. Ha!
I produce too much insulin when my intolerance to certain foods.Interesting:
‘Generally speaking, calcium propionate is safe with little to no side effects. In rare situations, it may cause adverse effects, such as headaches and migraines ( 9 ). One human study linked propionate intake to the increased production of insulin and glucagon, a hormone that stimulates glucose (sugar) release’
So that must be wonderful
