Would "almost" make me want to emigrate - but then I realise we are still in the rugby World Cup!!!!!!!!!! At least till to-day anyway!!

On our way back to Blighty now, 480 odd miles today hood down for most of the journey, but then hood up when rain threatened. gloomy As Kerry says we are now honorary Austrians and we made an involuntary contribution to the State as we were caught speeding, that is me (€35.00), Paul (€50.00) and the Copper could not get his hair-drier sorted in time to catch Steve - who he reckoned was the fastest and was a lucky man to have got off Scot-free. cop

Apart from this we had a trouble free run and after a nice Thai meal tonight ready for the trip home tomorrow. drive
