An Interview with a Maltese Newspaper

Once more, for those who like that sort of thing, here is an interview I gave to the Malta Independent. Some of you may know that I was born in Malta when it was still the headquarters of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet (now disbanded) and proudly styled itself Malta GC, having been awarded the George Cross for the extraordinary courage and indomitable spirit of its people, who suffered under a terrible bombardment by both Germany and Italy, and endured whatwas effectively a severe siege, and who remained the good friends of Britain and the British.  

 

I still treasure my Maltese Birth Certificate, a document the size of a pillowcase, sigend by a Sliema Police Sergeant and bearing stamps of King George VI, then still on the throne.
