I'm confused, I thought Christopher JR Tolkien served in the air force, not the Naval volunteer reserve? I guess I don't really understand what happened to the Fleet Air Arm in 1945... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christo...

I find it courteous. You could plan your evening according to how you wished to be carried out.

Bill Wilson's heavy drinking like so many contemporaries began while serving in the Great War. Tolkien served in that war as well, so this amusing reference to the effects of alcohol is also fascinating.
