I agree SCUDSY I probably have gone completely and utterly barking mad . What with the oppressive conditions that I have to work under. When I mentioned the EPC I meant the the EK pilot body as opposed to the actual club which in my opinion is a tremendous positive. Couldn't join the equivalent of Nad Al Sheba @ home, at least not for AED2,750. As soon as I sent the post I realised that it might be misconstrued and for this I apologise. Hopefully you will at least understand, if not agree with my conclusion.
