Sandra,

Thank you for the lovely review.

"Somewhere east of Suez" is, of course, a phrase I lifted from Kipling:

Ship me somewhere east of Suez,
Where the best is like the worst,
Where there ain't no Ten Commandments,
And a man can raise a thirst...

I am quoting from memory, so my text may be slightly off.

Kindest regards.
