Raffles @53. Seeing your entry, I’m reminded of an old maths joke.

Answer = houseboat. I’ll get my coat.

Re the cottage at Camp David - Churchill was the first foreign head of state to visit in '43; he described it was; "in principle a log cabin, with all modern improvements "

Our present president (and I use the term advisedly) is not taken with it; speaking to a German journalist he said; “Camp David is very rustic, it’s nice, you’d like it. You know how long you’d like it? For about 30 minutes.”
