                Went to Cyprus for a 10 week detachment, staying at Akrotiri. Went around a few places including Pathos and Limmisol(?). Also went up Trudos on motorbikes. Lovely weather but not my cup of tea if i'm honest. I'm defo a temperate climate type of guy and i am probably one of the few that enjoys winter (for the most part).

                  Hi Alan, I have spent most of my life in the Near East and Middle East so I prefer this to cold weather any day. It's what you grow up with and are used to I guess.

                    Suppose it is John. I've been turned against heat since being out in the gulf. 43 dec C and on top of a hot aircraft that's just landed did it for me. When i'm too hot and already stripped down then i cannot handle it. So i like the cooler/cold areas. I can always apply more clothing lol

                        I spent a lot of time in the Tropics in the 70s & 80s - it confirmed that I preferred a cooler climate!
                        Aqaba in 1975 or 76 I was working with our electrician, on cargo winches. You had to keep your spanners etc in a bucket of water - if you put them down on deck, you'd burn yourself picking them up! You had to wear a long - sleeved white boiler suit & a sunhat - company regulations to prevent sunburn! Still managed to get the backs of my hands toasted though! If you were going to work in one place for more than half an hour, you rigged an awning to give shade. Salt tablets were popped like Smarties - and you knew about it if you forgot to take them!
                        The good (?) old days..............
