Should read

I assume that you managed to acquire a copy of our birth certificates - must have a word with the security authorities about that
A small handful of years, but not many.
And you have yet to respond to my experience with Muslims.
I started work in the early '50s on the docks for a ship repair firm - we worked on overhauling ships equipment when they docked, sometimes for months at a time.
Most of the workers became friendly with the members of the skeleton crews who stayed on board, they cooked our meals and acted as guides around the ships - Indians. Pakistanis, Arabs, Africans, Greeks, Chinese......
I can't remember any friction, between us and the crews, in fact the only sign of racism in those days were the words carved into the stonework over the entrances to the public toilets which were racially segregated - (all male, no women on the docks then) - they read "ASIANS" and "MEN".
There - I've shown you mine - you show me yours from leafy Cambridgeshire.
