My sampling of Canadian music was in Gander on detachment when the Gambo River Boys? played, Locals looked on in amazement when myself and a mate broke out in sycronised applause and cheering when they announced they were going to take a break. Place was packed with tone deaf Canadians.
I believe it or not got approached in the mens toilets by a Canadian whilst I was having a leak, to ask if I was interested in operating as his importer come agent in the UK for his fish as he owned a Trawler.......... I look back in amazement, here was I half pissed, todger in hand doing what men do best, and here is this whopping great Canadian fishermen standing next to me asking me if I am interested in his fish!

I relayed what had been said to one of the others on the detachement who was an old hand at going there and also a Chef in his past life, he looked on on amazement and then nearly broke down in tears as he pointed out that it was a dream offer and I could have been rich by now...
