@StAndrews68 @ejhchess Well thanks. But it might be good if you, and everyone else, checked who you’re tagging before you post?

[Charles Moore @CharlesMooreUK]

@GilesEnticknap Thanks @GilesEnticknap

Such a pleasure to be back in Gaborone, and thanks to @UKinBotswana for the warm welcome!

Huge and impressive changes since I finished my posting here 34 years ago, although it was nice to see that the house we lived in has barely changed at all👇

@EconomicHitmen2 @UKinBotswana @FCDOGovUK Certainly tempting, but no.

[Charles Moore @CharlesMooreUK]

Great to be back in Botswana 🇧🇼 for a short spell as Chargé d’Affaires. I say “back” as I was posted here 1987-1991. The change in 34 years is incredible - a really vibrant city with a whole new CBD.

Lots of nostalgia and happy memories. Pula!

@statsfrica @AfricaFirsts Any reason why Windhoek (1650m) isn’t at No 3, or indeed on the list at all?

[Charles Moore @CharlesMooreUK]

@arminkahelic @spectator No, actually you’re the one who’s wrong. You mean @CharlesHMoore, but he doesn’t do X any more.

[Collins of Highbury @Lord_Collins]

I’m delighted to attend Namibia’s belated independence celebrations in London. I look forward to seeing the 🇬🇧 and 🇳🇦 partnership go from strength to strength under Namibia’s first female President @SWAPOPRESIDENT. @UKinNamibia

[Charles Moore @CharlesMooreUK]

@BritishAlert @trussliz Oh no!

[Charles Moore @CharlesMooreUK]

@Sam_Schulman Absolutely no idea what you’re on about.

What I mean is, you’ve got the wrong person! You meant to tag @CharlesHMoore, but he doesn’t do X any more.

[Ben Stride @BenStrideUK]

@immanuelhango You bet. I think there’s a place in Kunene I haven’t yet been to!

Diplomatic ties… The British High Commission in Namibia bid farewell to Charles Moore today as he completed his four-year tenure as High Commissioner.

The Mission noted that relations between the two nations have significantly strengthened, with bilateral trade impressively tripling - a testament to his dedication, vision, and tireless service.

[Charles Moore @CharlesMooreUK]

So I get to the immigration desk at #Windhoek airport, and the lady says “Oh, I read that you were leaving today. I hope you enjoyed your stay here?”

How very nice! But that’s #Namibia for you.
