Plucky

The plumber is coming to rip the bathroom apart.

He is replacing the sink and the toilet and the radiator.

At times like this I remember I am British.

My ancestors coped with the Armada, with Boney and the Luftwaffe. I can cope with this.

My first wife's maiden name was Coakley- which is, I think, an Irish name. She came from Elizabethtown Kentucky, which can't be all that far from where you live.

According to the palaeontologists we are all descended from an original Eve who lived in Africa a few million years ago. I like that idea. Even the most bigoted of white suprematists has African ancestors.

Why, yes! Elizabethton is right up the road!

We are all related. I'm convinced of it.
