I sometimes wonder why I bother. Give people the exciting news about rare breeds and it gets turned into a cooking programme!

I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet every situation by re-organising and what a wonderful method it is for giving the illusion of progress whilst only producing confusion, inefficiency & demoralisation.

You're confusing Wyverns with the Phoenix. Addled ol' fule.

I once owned a Wyvern - (over half a century ago!!!) a car made by a well known British manufacturer.
It was quite old and I had to be careful when washing it as a layer of rust came off each time. I think it was designed in the days when the term "planned obsolescence" was coined.
However it was adequate for my purposes. It had a large, sofa-like bench front seat, no floor-mounted gear handle to get in the way
(steering column change and a handbrake by the driver's door). The heater was inefficient but I could compensate for that.
To relive anything I can remember of those times I think I need to emulate a Phoenix.

Nap? When our gallant boys are striving on a snowy Roman pitch? I give up!
I drink champagne when I'm happy and when I'm sad. Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I'm not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise, I never touch it - unless I'm thirsty.

to a place overseas.
Over clouds over fields
over rivers and trees.
And they're serving me coffee
to put me at ease.
'Cos I'm drifting without you
borne on the breeze.
