re: FAO Will

Explaination,

Steve speaks fluient Bulgarian having lived there for many years.

But even he can get it wrong.
The Bulgarian word for Sweetcorn and Squirrel is almost identical. One night Steve ordered a Pitza and asked the waiter for no Squirrels on it Razz

Waiter pissed himself Very Happy

Sorry Steve, had to be told. Wink

Cheers Steve for that
I will look into it when we get to Borovets.
Or as a caring father i could send him into the resturant first with his letter and ask for his "Christmas dinner with no wheel nuts please"
Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy
