No David,Shelvoke and Drewry,but you can still have a coconut!
David
Must have been thinking of Ian, or my mate Bill, who on his way through several pseudonyms on his way to being Alvin Stardust, was Bill Jewry.
@SDU Why the Achtung, are there lots of Germans up there?
Lots of European and (SE) Asian backpackers, David. I assume English and German would cover 99% of Europeans and Mandarin, the bulk of Japs, Koreans and Chinese.
Are they protected? The crocs not the tourists.
Both are David. The crocs were almost hunted into extinction during the '70s. Now all native fauna is protected and the crocs have bounced back to alarmingly dangerous numbers.
Whenever I’m in croc country, I wear my running shoes; I doubt I could outrun a croc, but I’m damned sure, with my best running shoes, I could outrun a tourist (who are also in plague proportions )

Now you’re talking a lovely Packard circa 1930s. Not a coupe but a sedan, I had a 1939 one, a beautiful car, 3 gears plus overdrive but wasn’t really suited to the Perkins P6 under the bonnet. Sacrilege, according to the president of the Classic American Car Club who, at a meet in Bedforshire had drooled over it until I lifted the bonnet.
‘Of course you will be looking for an engine’ he said but walked away when I shook my head and said I couldn’t afford a straight 6 petrol. I was not invited to join.
