de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

Collingwood
John Collingwood, 79, was born in his beloved home in West Bridgeford, Nottinghamshire, in 1934 - and he's still living there, cleaning with his mother's hoover (pictured left), cranking his brother's wind-up gramophone (bottom centre) - making a cuppa on the 65-year-old gas cooker (right) just as his family did when they lived in the house (top centre) from 1925 until they died 50 years ago
