Re: Troodos story

III. Fayid to Cyprus... After the excellent "roast camel", us-squaddies were marched outside to Tent City, with four of us to a tent. The following morning, we shook our boots before putting them on as we had been warned by the scuttlebutt about scorpions. We were very much a mixed bunch a...

Re: Troodos story

I have just checked and have found that 474 views have been made on this subject. I have a wealth of other anecdotes of my experience in the 1950s Cyprus. Am I to assume from the voting level that you would like to hear them?
