An evening in an unfamiliar Pub.

Time passes slowly, though pleasantly sat alone at a bar, early for a ‘meeting’. Happenstance at work – knocked off early, got lucky and got an earlier flight, motel and in record time – made it to my destination early. Toasted sandwich and a glass of very fine Ale, crossword to do – just another old fart sat at the bar. In roll’s two of the ‘young’ generation, short hair tight trousers, pointed shoes the wrong colour and cheap, shiny suits. Silent prayer to pagan gods; please make ‘em move away – 28 down was giving me grief:-

Aluminum piece on a soda can crossword clue. – Pop tab.

Anyway – These fellahin were discussing the sacking of the ministers ‘aviation advisor’ – try to ignore that and work out ‘Poptab’. Seems that Campbell – has now been sacked by two ministers and gone into the ‘re-cycle, rinse and hang out to dry line up at ASA. About bloody time I thought; he seriously damaged Chester and has made the incumbent look like the god’s own fool – repeatedly. Glad as I was to overhear (difficult not to) I went back to the Times. Until I heard an ‘off’  remark about the replacement article. Seems that a female – Lea something or other is to be the new leading light on matters aeronautical. Only 26 and a RA Oz acolyte. According to ‘the lads’ the new doyen is an ex ‘clerical assistant’ with an unused Commercial pilot licence. If this is true then we can expect great things from this vastly experienced advisor to the DPM and minister for transport – can’t we. Who could ask for anything more?

P17, P362436, P101 and myself eventually caught up and settled down to food, Ale and ‘conversation’. I mentioned the little I’d heard while sat at the bar – these are ‘seasoned’ aviation folk and nowhere near silly – they laughed, bought another round, laughed again and dismissed the overheard remarks. We then got on with our business. (MTF).

But later, once again sat alone – I wondered – could this be true?  Shirley no one could be that brazen or terminally stupid – could they? Not even the witless wonder of Wagga could be that dumb – and yet…………….

P2 - Hey Ol'Tom was this the lady in question?
