The even more unbelievable crime fact (which I learned relatively recently) is that burglary has fallen by more than 90% since the 1990s. Did anyone notice? Nope. Does anyone believe it? Nope. But is is true? It is!

In some ways my dad was incredibly lucky- he got malaria & was hospitalised when his friends attempted to break out of the camp. They were executed. But mostly he had the ability to process his sufferings & enjoy his life after the war without letting bitterness eat away at him.

But she had two kids,one with each brother, so I’m still none the wiser . The oddest family I’ve heard of is a couple who had a child, separated, she married & had 2 more children & then divorced. Then the original couple got together again & had another child. People are strange.
