Happy days!<br /><br />Richard - You were definitely an accomplice in the record-player-smuggling. I didn't know about the Lilos.

Unless it was more of a <i>"see here my man"</i> sort of see here.<br /><br />The beer barrel rolling down the cliff might be correct. Those cliffs are covered with <i>carpobrotus edulis</i> (hottentot figs). They were great for slithering down & we used to do this on Li-los. This was insanely dangerous: near vertical 100 foot cliffs. We would also suck the juice out of the plants, though no-one told us they weren't poisonous. <br />But the beer was no doubt evil stuff, one & thruppence a pint?Richard WalkLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12306430776956627549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767918086420070312.post-76714289546115814122012-03-12T13:30:37.006+00:002012-03-12T13:30:37.006+00:00Sounds like the Harry Enfield sketch where the big...Sounds like the Harry Enfield sketch where the bigger boys came.Roghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09430706557035189147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767918086420070312.post-21352782687508278072012-03-12T08:17:18.656+00:002012-03-12T08:17:18.656+00:00Me?
