Don't be shy, send me a message!Thank you to so many, for so many great suggestions! I list the *main* ones below that I talk about:Shires (and The Shire)StonehengeSecurity ServiceStoicismStiff Upper LipSavage! Just kidding; the title ‘Sir’Sarcasm and Satire Sausage RollsScones Seaside SandringhamSPECTRESky Aside from online resources, such as the Encyclopaedia Britannica and Wikipedia, I drew inspiration and  information from 10 books: ‘The Lord of the Rings’ by J.R.R. Tolkien'A Great and Terrible King: Edward I and the Forging of Britain’ by Marc Morris‘Operation Mincemeat’ by Ben MacIntyre‘For Your Eyes Only: Ian Fleming + James Bond’ also by Ben MacIntyre'Post-War' by Tony Judt ‘Ian Fleming’s Commandos: The Story of 30 Assault Unit in WWII’ by Nicholas Rankin‘Ian Fleming and SOE’s Operation Postmaster: The Untold Top Secret Story’ by Brian Lett‘The Man with the Golden Gun’ by Ian Fleming ‘Yes Minister: The Diaries of a Cabinet Minister by the Rt Hon. James Hacker MP: Volume Two’ Edited by Jonathan Lynn and Anthony Jay‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’ by Ian Fleming I also recommend Simon Schama’s television documentary ‘A History of Britain’, more for the early episodes than the later ones. They are available to watch online for free on the BBC iPlayer. I also draw on information on the official SIS and Royal Family websites, along with the 'Sandwich & Food to Go' magazine'.
