Phriday Photo XXXVI

It was a great pleasure to see my Antipodean mucker, VB, over the bank holiday weekend. Not only did we get the chance to sink a couple of Spitfires, he even came bearing gifts - including a most excellent T-Shirt from that gentleman and scholar, Trywalker....

FX Traders' survival wear...

(pic above now viewable - thanks for the heads-up, Jay!)

This is nothing to do with your T-shirt photo. I was checking out the B&B link, and I thought "West Malling, why is that familiar ?"

Back in 1981, I worked on a farm near Tunbridge Wells, picking hops and apples.

We used to go to Maidstone at the weekend sometimes (excellent swimming baths there in that park).

Don't think we ever got as far as West Malling though.

I think it must have been when I was working as a taxi-driver/courier.

I used to deliver a lot of parcels up that way, maybe I came off the M25 and diverted through West Malling ?

Good luck with the B&B for this year.

When I taught at Maidstone I used to take kids to that swimming pool - sorry, if they splashed you GW.

Oh hello Somnambulist - what are you doing here?

The first pic doesn't seem to be clickable so I can't see what the front says, but the back is wryly amusing. LOL!

@gitwizard - Hi, thanks for dropping by and the good wishes. Always good to hear from a fellow fruitpicker, rather than a fruitloop ;-) Since we're on random subjects, hop loading (rather than picking) is the most physically demanding thing I have done. Ever. I think I lasted about two weeks before limbs started falling off...

@DP - They let you take children to the swimming pool? My times have changed in the last hundred years or so.

@70s - hehe I'll write that on just below 'after all that, only a total basket-case would give it all up for some hair-brained internet scheme...'

@Jay - ooh thanks for the heads up, I'll see if I can reload with the front picture - it's my favourite cartoon of all time (well, since the one that Tiggz drew on the back of my Physics exercise book).
