Leo, one thing that comes to mind . . . .

Are you really expecting us to believe that after tramping thousands of miles across China, you and Raf, starting at opposite ends, actually met up in the middle?

No way!!

I made it clickable and want to make sure it works. I know it works from my end, but...
You had me a little worried there for a moment...I felt like I was opening pandoras box at first but no surprises... It takes me right to your site. It's all good.

Whilst you may not have stopped for tea, Leo, the fact that you were out in the midday sun and no doubt swigging the devil's brew en route, makes me wonder whether the two of you actually met in China, never mind the middle of the Great Wall itself!

You do realize that at that time the country was called Chinastkistanbulitnioplatessiuminokigrodum but when we met in the middle of the fourth day we where both slightly exhausted so we shortened it to China.

Leo, you're an absolute star - love the banter

I'm signing off now, but we must continue our tour of the Ancient World again soon.

What an absolutely hilarious thread this has turned into!!

Just wait until Raf sees what's been going on!

Since Bruno helped him to get his computer going he's probably busy watching videos and couldn't care less about posting here.
