That’s interesting, Ian – I hadn’t done the maths!

Hi interesting email and I have been thinking about the Porters and have just finished watching the brilliant episode where Celia tells John about Margaret’s infidelities. In that episode John refers to him having been 27 when he married Margaret therefore they must have married 1939 or 1940 latest because he then went to France and the whole Dunkirk thing happened. My maths makes him norm 1912 or 1913. Now Celia shows John pictures taken in the Lake District just before Harry went to the trenches - granted there is no indication whether or not they were married but it’s a strange continuity issue because one feels that the Harry and Celia romance was a WWI one mind you they look like they have been married fat longer!!!

I wonder what brought them together in the first place? I had the impression that it was a wartime (1914-18) marriage, and that she was impressed by his status (he was a Major, I think), which she thought would rub off on her. They probably didn’t have time to get to know each other properly, and married quite quickly, as people did at that time. Then afterwards something went wrong, or Celia began to show her true colours! 

Perhaps I’m over-thinking this J
