What comes back to haunt you...

My last employer asked the serfs for ideas, new markets to explore, when I just had to recommend Nigeria and the idea of trying to unseat a certain toppest pointy shoes operator.

Firstly came a v., v. starchy reply from World HQ Zurich that this their toppest local partner, best Twinned Ooter customer ever, operated to the very highest standards ever so that I should just crawl back into my hole if I presumed to think that anyone else could do a better job than they. So that was me told!

Next came news on the Bush Telegraph of 100% of their Twinned Ooter fleet having now been fitted with semi-retractable landing gear at Bonni Airstrip. So that was them told!

This should be absolutely fascinating to see, the chaos that shall presumably ensue.
