With all of that going on, I completely missed a part of British history that, to this day, mates say I must remember. The three day week, I wasn't here, and there was so much going on where I was, that UK news seemed insignificant. I still have to chuckle when I see articles on news or documentary programmes about the three day week.
And I still have to chuckle when I recall that a friend of mine did not discover that England won the World Cup in 1966 until someone mentioned it in a bar up the Gulf - in 1969!
Mind you, he was Scottish.....
