Topic of the week
What actions did you take whilst travelling in order to avoid the potentially perilous mistakes of the foreigner abroad? A friend o'mine ate only oranges for nearly three weeks whilst abroad, as he had heard that even eating something washed with local water was likely to give him explosive and potentially crippling diarrhoea. Seemed a bit extreme, when you consider he was only in London. This however, did not stop him from contracting a severe case of food poisoning after consuming a Marks and Spencer's sandwich whilst OS at the Isle of Skye, where he was to give his brother a rollicking buck's night before the big day. Said bridegroom spent the night consoling his younger brother and providing the bucket for his anguished stomach when it became blindingly apparent that there was already one sorry male in the household that needed to be taken care of.
