we can't wait to go to this.

will there be that sooshy?

I wonder whether Bert will take his Japanese admiral's uniform
along

Does he actually wear it Derek? I see a Tenko moment!

Don't get me started.

Do you mean sushi? Sadly, due to health and safety rules, we wont be able to provide any sushi. There will be other Japanese food and drinks though.

Fancy dress is very welcome. Maybe Bert could even dress up a cute little Geisha.

I might turn up as a POW, now that would spoil the party.

Thankfully, I think it's water under the bridge now.

Kwai springs to mind, anyway enjoy your day.
