Greetings from MikeB in India....

[mikeb]

Just thought I would say hi. In New Delhi at the moment with work, its 47 degrees at the moment! I wouldn't like to drive the wedge here though as within three seconds a bus full of people, a couple of motorbikes and a couple of cows would be up the side of it!!!

Driving in India is NOT recommended!

Hope the invasion plans are underway seargent Mint! Be back soon to review the plans......

Driving in India! I had it described to me as follows...

Indian driving technique is synonymous to Ethernet networks where you
#1 Drive forwards at maximum speed
#2 When you have a crash simply back up, pause for a "random" time and then revert to #1

Never been there myself but sounds...... interesting. Have fun and don't run over any cows!

I hope you took a rubber bung with you Mike.

Oi!
...and if it's you on the phone...I don't want any !

[rev-erend]

Oi - do some work...

47 degrees - almost cold..

Bet some of those India machine shops could knock you up a wedge made from a couple of old TaTa's..

How many roundabouts have they got . I might be safer out there

Hi Mike
Me too.
I am in Coimbatore and it's hot here as well.

Fully agree with comment driving is not recommended lunatics over here.
Mind you if you can drive here Birmingham or London would be a piece of cake.

Hi Boyos,

TaTa's is right, people are driving in what seems to be vehicles fashioned from bits of tin can, and then driving at full tilt on the wrong side of the road. Gives a new meaning to the word Chicken Run, these people are loons.......

Nearly had three or four scrapes getting to and from the factory, scared shiteless.

I am in Nodia at the monent which is sort of a suberb of New Delhi, which is also mad.

Sacred cows will just flop down in the middle of the road and cause a huge roadblock for hours on end as nobody wants to disturb them as they are holy!

Still the curry is good.

Be back soon to review the attack plans.

MikeyB

ps. And no Wyn its not safer believe me. The two mile trip to and from the factory is making me grey! and the guy driving me about has lived her all his life!!
