No Margaret, I used to know the barber at the time, I forget his name but he lived in Huncoat.
I have a pint or two (or more) with a bloke who used to be the (Chef ?) at Accy Hospital at the time I am refering too, it was he who came up with the name Waring and he too thought that he was a male nurse or could have been known as an orderly.
Anyway things turned out ok and I did not end up being able to pass as an Israeli citizen.
