Reply #20: Eat: My parents worked in the diplomatic service and I met President

[emad]

Truman when I was seven at the wake for Sir Winston Churchill held at the US Ambassador's residence in Regent's Park, London.
I was given a seat next to him during the post-funeral eulogies and he gave me a toffee: "Here, have a toffee," he said. Couldn't argue with that one, even if there was a no sweets before dinner rule, I knew I could say "but President Trumkan said I could!"
