Was that you doing the wailing and hooting Norm and facing Mecca with your bit of Axminster ?
Cheers Dave.
Facing Mecca Dave, I was just on the suburbs, they wouldnāt let me in. they wanted the goods I brought thousands of mile, but they didnāt want a non believer. they took the load into the centre, tipped it and we had our breakfast, they returned the unit and empty trailer paperwork signed, and a few dinarās for our trouble! It could have been my cries of " Arms for the love of Alla ".

Not the place to start an argument Norm.I spent time in hospital with private patients from the middle east.Some had a sense of humour,but others could be very difficult.Different culture to ours.
Cheers Dave.

I always got on with the arab drivers, I learnt most of my arabic from them, I was always joking and doing funny things, they loved my laughing bag I got at Blackpool.

How dose it go? For those in peril of the sea.

hiya,
Norm youād have been OK with the one on the boat I helped crew it was a
trusty old Gardner 8 cylinder marine engine as reliable as the day is long it
might have only been a 6 potter the old grey matter isnāt what it was but I
seem to think it was an eight potter it certainly did the job which is a must
when in deep water and well away from land and especially when youāre a
non-swimmer .
thanks harry, long retired.
