Mucky cow!

December '96, heading east - eastern Slovakia. I'd never been behind what was now a Rusty Curtain. (Scary, Nev, watch yourself!)

The Air France check in clerk at Heathrow asked about my onward CSZ flight to 'Kos-eese' (Oh, that's how you pronounce it Nev!). I was breaking my flight.

I'd got organised. I planned to make the most of my trip. Stopped in Prague (coming back here on the way back Nev, beer's so cheap!).

As we landed and got up, a local helped me out.

"It's pronounced 'cow shits here!'"

Then I knew I was going to like it!
