(1) Is the current weather on the island typical for this time of year? Is this weather considered "warm" or "cool"? How much different is it in December? (2) What local call rates are charged to users of international calling cards to get connection to whatever firm is actually providing the long distance service? (3) From a practical perspective in shops and the like, is there a need to obtain St. Helena pounds instead of British Pounds? (4) What transfer fees face a person converting between British and St. Helena pounds? I see on the bank's web site that they are in parity, but I didn't know if a transfer fee applied. (5) Many islands in the Caribbean are highly casual, with shorts acceptable nearly everywhere and suits hard to find anyplace; what tips on attire should I keep in mind as I pack? Do some restaurants, for example, expect coat and tie?

With supplies almost vanished (a problem for us, with 15-month-old child), we were quoted two prices for UHT milk in one shop. One price was for milk past its sell-by date... The other for milk that was long past its sell-by date. Apparently, it was already out of date by the time it arrived on island.

Hughley Sent: 6 June 2006 16:11 To: All about St. Helena - The Island in the South Atlantic(Eng) Subject: RE: [STHELENA] RE: List Digest, Vol 24, Issue 1 Chris- Just one note on the milk, there is no need to carry powdered milk with you. I believe that most people now use UHT milk, (Ultra high temp. pasteurized) This can be bought in any grocery store on the island. It comes in a carton, the kind used for soy milk here in the US. It can sit on a shelf until opened and should then be refrigerated. Have a great trip! And if you come across any of my relatives, please give them my best.

Warm is a more appropriate word. 21st December is of course mid-summer but Jan & Feb are normally hotter. 2. See http://www.cw.com/sthelena/ 3. Do NOT change Sterling of SH currency. You will be charged for the exchange even though Sterling is accepted in all shops etc. and the SH ? is on a par with Sterling. 4. See response no. 3 5. Smart casual is the most you need to aspire to. If you do not anticipate attending a wedding, funeral or an official reception at Plantation House you can leave the suit at home. If you take a suit, a linen one would be the most suitable for practical [climatic] reasons. Restaurants are very informal and are more accurately classified as cafes. 6. There is no malaria but take something for mosquitoes as they can be an annoyance from time to time. Binoculars are always handy to have when sightseeing and if you like milk in your tea and coffee take a supply of the powdered variety. You cannot get fresh milk unless you know one of the very few people who keep a milking cow. Most herds are reared for meat and St Helenians are used to evaporated milk. -----Original Message----- From: list-bounces@sthelena.se [mailto:list-bounces@sthelena.se] On Behalf Of list-request@sthelena.se Sent: 06 June 2006 11:00 To: list@sthelena.se Subject: List Digest, Vol 24, Issue 1 Send List mailing list submissions to list@sthelena.se To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.kulturservern.se/mailman/listinfo/list or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to list-request@sthelena.se You can reach the person managing the list at list-owner@sthelena.se When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of List digest..."

(1) Is the current weather on the island typical for this time of year? Is this weather considered "warm" or "cool"? How much different is it in December? (2) What local call rates are charged to users of international calling cards to get connection to whatever firm is actually providing the long distance service? (3) From a practical perspective in shops and the like, is there a need to obtain St. Helena pounds instead of British Pounds? (4) What transfer fees face a person converting between British and St. Helena pounds? I see on the bank's web site that they are in parity, but I didn't know if a transfer fee applied. (5) Many islands in the Caribbean are highly casual, with shorts acceptable nearly everywhere and suits hard to find anyplace; what tips on attire should I keep in mind as I pack? Do some restaurants, for example, expect coat and tie?

Message-ID: <50c.e33153.31cad11f@aol.com> ... And, Uncle Chris, Here's a disillusioned septuagenarian Brit imagining for e-mail's without end all 'Saints' are who their South Atlantic handle most suggests. Your young nephew, who left St Helena for Liverpool, England, and started into a second set of nuptials sounds a heap like the 'little bugger' ? except Irv can no longer look him in the eye without standing on a stool ? who appears most dedicated to turning what's left of his father's head of hair from silver to white. Two early morning Friday's ago all but breaking his neck as a consequence of a cervical spine fracture sustained in an auto-collision with a tree that but for a miracle would have paralysed our 20-year-old Sam Mykel and sat him in a wheelchair for the rest of his days on Mother Earth. That close, Uncle Chris! And, ever thus, praying the loss of another of his feral lives will see him wake up to a hometown world so wanting his ways as well as wounds to mend. Fifty years our difference, his absent-minded runaway mother forgetting to take her six-year-old youngest son into the sunset with her and a philandering landlord for her latest pipe-dream, it is mostly as if Sam has grown up with a grumpy gramps for a dad. Little comfort to him when we visit America's midwest and a neighbourhood barmaid asks after the difference between the two of us and announces: "You old stud muffin, you!" Stiff upper-lips or whatever, Sam scores one more reason for this town's vacationing hack to be losing his respect. If only for a sentence or two hoping to win yours by being as candid on the laptop keys as you are in your refreshing Californian e-mail and hinting you could be returning to Blighty. Too many dad's of Sam's as well my acquaintance fall out big time with their errant sons. Understandably so in many an instances. But it doesn't do a friggin' thing for either of their futures but cause endless hard-feelings. There's good worth in mostly everyone. Sons and dads alike. But the worry as well as emotional upset on the journey to some semblance of understanding, compromise and rebuilding such a relationship takes its toll on each of their nearest and dearest. Shut up, Irv. Worse than an agony aunt in her dotage, so rule okay uncles. With the two of us unashamedly shaking some of the skeletons out of each of our closets and ever in search of solutions. A welder for two years and, until his road accident as a rear-seat passenger in a speeding car, Sam is signed off work for at least the next month or more. After he is used to being kept busy from an epecially early morning through mid-afternoon emptying the trash and garden waste for city taxpayers in and around Winchester and old capital of England. Good money for work few want. But Sam is a worker, can get out of the sack in a morning and prove his working worth. Rather it's about his socialising, his mates and his need seriously to know one more pint or short is one too many. Why Irv wondered with compensation to afford it as well as put by a mini-nestegg for more sensible days ahead, Sam's remaining head on his broad shoulders could best turn towrds a return to MIG-welding or alternative construction work in teams assigned to create St Helena's airport?
