However, they did not exist until 1 January 1946 (from memory - I will have to look this up in my papers).
OK, Clive, ya got me...as you did some while ago when we discussed this very topic.

Hmmm...Failling memory or just a simple brain fart?

Anyway, the expression "Long Branch" surely stirs evocative reaction from anyone who lurks herein, or without.
