I was almost Australian. Pa's CO in MTBs asked him to go to be his C/E in transport company. I understand that that company was quite successful, perhaps 'done bonza' in the Dampier tourist booklet? (still to pulp its maiden print run). I think Granpapa did some tarmacadaming for them too (courtesy of the Neuchatel Bituminous Rock Company).

(Sorry YM but there are parts of HM's Realms that lend themselves to not only the cork dangled headdress but also the precancelled visa. I am sure that place must have seen for itself when it came to asphalt).
