What has been ommitted in the above correspondance from the Getaway contingent is that they sang Happy Birthday to the Tune of The Volga Boatmen ,Including the "Gloom and Despair" verse and the verse that goes " May the candles on your cake burn like Cities in your wake" !!!!
It was made up for (I suppose) on Tuesday evening by the Animaterra Womens Choir (50(or more) ladies singing Happy Birthday!! Memorable!!!
Many thanks to all who have posted good wish.
