FanTAStic post Hutch
You are to be warmly thanked and congratulated!
It's a real blast from the past - but considering it's all 'current' ('scuse the pun
) it rather puts into perspective how life in the former USSR carries on. It's amazing how cavalier these countries seem against our own standards and set-ups, yet it works just fine...
This was one of the most enjoyable reads I have had on here for ages; if you have any more I don't suppose it would bore any of us!!
How did you come to be in Siberia?? I thought deportation to the place finished years ago!!
Thanks again!
