German (at my Father's building construction business in Andover, Hampshire - head office was Savoy Chambers, a business established by my Mother's Stamford, Lincolnshire side of my family, not Dad's working class Kilburn side, in the outbuildings where the various trades were located, they found a German WWI helmet that Dad painted grey and we played with as kids, very strong, could not crush it like a British ARP helmet that we did as kids. They also found a WWI Lewis Machine Gun, all seized, sat in a barrel of penetrating oil for months to try and free it up!)

Spots - on the subject of those childhood afflictions, I believe I had Chicken Pox, so at age 70 it has been suggested to me that I should get a Shingles vaccine - is that a good idea? $100 in Florida, $300 in NB, CAN where I live, possibly covered at 80% through my Blue Cross NB Civil Service Retirees health plan ($200/mth for health/dental/ travel coverage).
