That was the name of the bottled beer that was as strong as a mule on Steroids. Three bottles of that Bill and I was swimming in the local fountain. Davos was the very posh ski resort we ended up at if you remember Bill. Nowadays only Royalty and the like go there. Come to think of it, we were Royal at the time. 
Another escapade was the Summer leave expedition to North Africa when Brian Walker, Brian Goldsmith and moi, tried to hitch-hike to north Africa. We got as far as a lovely town on the French coast just before the Spanish border before Messr Walker had a dodgy tooth that needed attention if I remember correctly. So we got on the train and straight back. I've still got a picture of the three B's wearing Scottish Bonnets doing dead ant impersonations. I will try and dig them out and get them posted. Ooohhh... weren't we young!!! |
Hey Twink....
Where are these pics then?
 |
Still waiting for the pictures, Twink.  |
Getting old waiting for these pictures, Twink.......

Eric... I was only a couple of years ahead of these guys, and the closest I got to a 'ski' was an out of date yoghurt from the Naafi Shop.
We did get day trips to Calais and Brussells mind you (at our own expense). In Brussells I could never understand why so many women sat in shop windows doing their knitting...

Personally, I wouldn't have wanted to go any further than Kingsdown or Sandwich with a 'Hoop and Stick'
