So, once again the writer is ambiguous in his writing. Are you saying that sugar
is or is not a better winter food than honey?
        Are you sure you were at the same EAS that we went to.Great
weather? It rained almost continously from Tuesday night right through till the
Friday morning, only saw the sun for a few moments late on the Friday!
        So now we know who to blame for the monstrous mistake (Atomic
bombs). Strange, your name is not listed in the official perpetrators of that particular obscenity.
