Seem to remember a Sherlock Holmes in Edmonton too.

Adams Mark......One of the late GB's favourites..bless him!

If I remember rightly, you had to travel down a 'bandit-infested' road to get to Carnivores. Nairobi was always a dodgy nitestop, with an incident in the 80s of Co (OB), Nav (The Wittering Taff) and GE getting mugged.

That reminds me of a ML story from the New Florida Bar....white trousers....with stripe 'applied'

What was the name of the bar between the NGor and the Diarama (?) in Dakar? Resident 'Austrian specialist' in most nights from memory!

So many hazy memories....and great blokes' company along the way....some huge characters; I was lucky enough to have been on the Fleet in the Pedro era.
