Many a true word Bob...  When we were in HK they were filming The Man with the Golden Gun.  We were diving somewhere (Causeway Bay??) and there were film crews filming us.  Seems they were getting 'fill shots', but i think we ended up on the cutting room floor.

It's not all glamour, sometimes we had to go into the cold stuff too.

Is that Lofty Aldridge far right Don? So you didn't get a drink bought by Christopher Lee then? Not a good idea could be a cold glass of blood!

Think I've had it somewhere Dave, not sure when or where but it rings a bell definitely! Made a few relishes and other things like chutneys and chilli jam when I was growing all my own veg here, but haven't grown anything for a couple of years so all that's finished. Have to get a wee patch going when we finally get to a new place and get going again!
