FIRE !



Travelling home from the airport one night I turned the corner into my street to find one of my next-door neighbours house on fire in a big way. It was certainly one of the biggest fires I've ever seen. It was interesting how matter-of-fact the firemen were with such a massive fire.

BASEL



What a boring place

After being urgently called from England to Switzerland for a meeting with the CEO of a major drug company I was told by his people to wait in my hotel until I was called....... they made me wait for two days before I was allowed to see this VIP.

This took the theory around "the customer is always right" to breaking point.

My advice don't go to BASEL unless you absolutely have to.........
