Mt Everest to the 'Fishermen of England'

Time and tide wait for no man, not even for a Queen, but whether it be at Mt Everest, where Britishers had climbed the world's highest mountain, or at Appledore, where the 'Fisherman of England' were not missing the fine catch of salmon from the Torridge Estuary, mugs of beverage were raised in loyal toasts.... Brandy at Mt Everest and Beer at the 'George' and 'Beaver' at Appledore!
