Old men have long memories
Sand! It was the same in Dubai and Das! Haven't been on this site for many years but I see you have a few refs from my past. Your brother has been reading them and worked out the why's and wherefore's. I understand you took a trip to Das and visited the Tavern Bar. Trust you enjoyed it. By strange coincidence, I started writing up my ditching near Brightlingsea in 1966 because I found that the man who pulled me out had died last year so I will be sending his family the story that he probably never told them about.
