Strange Bedfellows

A follow up to a story we covered a little over a week ago involving the struggle of Tul Bahadur Pun to acquire British citizenship...

Tul Bahadur Pun, 84, who wanted to move from Nepal for medical reasons, promised to be a "credit" to Britain and expressed "deep gratitude".

He was initially told he did not have enough British ties to move but was eventually granted a visa because his case was "exceptional".

An interesting twist...

Actress Joanna Lumley backed Mr Pun's campaign to live in the UK because she said he risked his life to rescue her father.

It seems that Ms. Lumley (who I will always think of as "Purdy") was born in India and comes from a family of some distinction in the John Company and the Indian Army.
