I knew you would rise to this one, AC - it's your sort of story :)
I too was sceptical about the mileage. But it's a nice story, and brightened my day.
A few years ago my college alumni magazine listed the Maharaja of Baroda as an old boy. He said he liked to keep in touch, and invited anyone passing to drop in.
His address was easy to remember - "The Palace, Baroda".
Someone took him at his word, and reported that he was a delightful and charming old boy who offered hospitality for as long as he cared to stay.
They don't make Indian princely rulers like that any more, the world's loss.
