The Italian version of "Who wants to be a Millionaire" was on the television and the question was "What did Wintson Churchill's tattoo depict?". The choice was a siren, a dragon, an anchor, or a crown. It turned out to be an anchor. Now that I'm back on the shores of the Emerald Isle, I looked it up and see that not only did WC have an anchor on his arm, but his mother Jennie had a snake tattooed on her wrist. Tramp stamping seems to have been in vogue for a long time. I will resist having "I Leica M3" tattooed on mine........ Douglas _________ Douglas Barry Bray, Co. Wicklow Republic of Ireland
