I've heard a permutation of this story, probably an urban legend, but what the heck: In the late 1930s, when the storm clouds of war were gathering over Europe, there was a Briton who saw what was coming and decided to move to someplace safe. He did extensive research, pored over maps for months, and finally settled on a spot. He picked up himself and his family and moved to a small island in the middle of the Pacific, a place few had heard of, in which nobody could possibly have the slightest interest. It was a little island called Guadalcanal... Cheers! Stephen
