Default Oh no, Meester Fawlty!

Para Juan y Derek:

I can read Spanish to a degree (left overs from service in the Western Sahara and the Canary Islands) so I have followed most of the last few posts.

The S&P Museum will do what it can to help Juan out as we can access militaria up here fairly easily. Original WWII battle dress will be expensive but we can help with modified 52 pattern stuff. There is a chap in Thunderbay who custom tailors replica WWII Battle Dress but I don't know his costs.

"Force au Canut" was a toast I learned in Catalunya and literally translates to "strength to the wallet", wallet be a local slang for the object cojones are stored in!

Cheers! Mike
