Actually the old Whirlwind was far the best thing at Warri as it was on fixed pontoons and when the weather got too bad you could just land on a cut somewhere, water taxi to the bank and get the crew chappie to secure your chariot to the bank with the spike. Then it was down into that nice big cabin with your book and sandwiches until the weather improved .

As for the Patani bridge or the walkway on Funiwa, I'm taking the Fifth Amendment .

Chuks, you'd love the BRC now. The level of service is now so superb that you'd be lucky to get your baked beans before having to catch the bus - unless you're up by about 0430 to get your order in. These new-fangled modern beans obviously take much longer to bake. I'm not even sure they're Heinz, which is the only sort of bean a chap should really consider.
