Met the author of this book, he actually lives in the same development as our apartment, not sure if it’s been on here before
Have you visited Majiesfontein or travelled up through the Karoo by train?




Cricket details here. I have not read that book but wonder what ian16th might have thought of it ...

I have purchased your neighbour's book to read about perfidious Albion and cricket in SA. ;)))

Our public combis which are now stopped due to health regulations used to crowd in twice the legal limit plus chickens and the occasional goat. We would use them when the car was in for servicing. Great fun. The locals couldn't believe white man was aboard. All very friendly.

Sorry it was a repeat I took it off then the internet went down again so I couldn't post a fresh one. On smart phone will try again back home.

'tis nothing Woody. Worse things happen further north. :) I was on a Yak-42 once between Tbilisi and Batumi. It was only when the captain came out of the cockpit with a fag in his mouth to talk to some people he knew at the back of the aircraft that I realised there were three passengers without seats :-o The loadsheet - assuming there was one - must have been a work of art!
