Dear Sandy, that is nothing new! I got thrown off the bus by the French as the bus driver would not accept a British Army ID card in the port! So I quietly put my two fingers as in bow fingers and reminded him of Agincourt.
That is where the British were outnumbered by 15 -1 by the French, and they stated that any English Bowman caught would have his two Bow fingers cut off. This slightly annoyed the British, to say the least and when the French charged they were slaughtered. Not for the first time by us I may add. Then I upset him by telling him we had given back his country to him in two world wars, and he did not like that!
Thrown out of Turkey after a pompous German took my seat near the pool, he went for a swim. Don't mess with a young Airborne soldier.
However I like plants and a peaceful life now!
Neil.
