On The Same Note

This really made me smile as I frequently sat on the jetty at Ullapool having sandwiches and a natter with Spanish and French and Russian trawler men (and other Merchant types) who were just passing through. The customs man was seldom any where near and if he was it was Generally only for a blather and spot of lunch . Aviation does seem to have been singled out for closer sctutiny these days , Shame to wake the kids up for some "jobsworth" though, and laughable when you pass endless border controls without even needing a passport in these modern times of an open Europe.
