Hello John,

I could not help to use my family's inside joke - my wife always serves me that tea which promted to invent  that  nickname. Frankly speaking, being manufacturer, I would chose the name more carefully :-).
Here at home we have another brand, called Red Rose, with TV Englisman tasting it and exclaiming: "Only in Canada, eh? Pitty!" with my answer: "Pitty whom?"

Frankly speaking, all decryptors of  Bletchley challenge used  more external info and guessing than real solving - the anagrams are always the most tempting method of them all. And the comnclusion? Maybe there is simply  not enough   to go  on and it may never be solved. Which brings to m y mind very heretical question: Could it be that the VM cannot be solved by scientific methods alone? I do not mean to  use clearvoyants or similar stuff - but what if it needs some kind of inspirational (as well as conspirational :-) insight?  Something what was - indirectly  - called for by Kahn and Manly when they guessed it may  be something rather simple, but we just do not see it?
