Quentin Letts, writing in today’s Daily Mail, reckons the classic tv comedy It Ain’t Half Hot, Mum (first shown on BBC1) is the favourite show of the Burmese democracy campaigner Aung San Suu Kyi. Apparently she used to watch it when she lived in Britain during the 1970s.
In 1972 Aung San Suu Kyi married Dr. Michael Aris, a scholar of Tibetan culture, who was living in Bhutan. Dr. Michael Aris died on 27th March 1999. Ang San Suu Kyi’s sister-in-law, Mrs. Lucinda Phillips, lives at Teddington House, Church Street, Warminster.

A new business is about to open at
Weymouth Street, Warminster.
It’s a painting and pottery cafe called Flying Saucers.
These photographs taken by Danny Howell
on the afternoon of Friday 27th April 2012
show a name sign already up
and posters in the windows advertising
the impending “visit by aliens”
Some people passing by failed to take any notice,
others looked at the posters and seemed bemused,
while others said they welcomed the new venture.
A similar venture, called Hippopotamouse,
in the Corn Market shopping precinct,
Warminster, not so long ago,
turned out to be a short-lived venture.
The painting and pottery cafe will be in
one of the rank of shops
behind the old Town Hall.
