<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Burton Strauss III, post: 8306164, member: 59677&quot;][USER=41219]@furryfrog02[/USER] it most surely was. </p><p><br /></p><p>We had a local helper, who led us to the good bar and the good chippy in town.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not out of the goodness of his heart, nor for the pitiful allowance they paid. Nope. As we learned legging it away from the local cop on the 2nd weekend (because we weren&#039;t supposed to use the alley as a public necessary) - he was helping us as his community service.</p><p><br /></p><p>But we also learned other important life lessons. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Lady&#039;s bar cost 50p more per pint but had softer chairs and a public necessary. Not worth it for young men.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nobody alive could eat BOTH 2 pieces of fish AND the 50p portion of chips. Those were meant to feed the entire family.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sheep are stupid - they didn&#039;t think it was any different to chew on the tent rope or grass. It did make a difference to the tent occupants. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sheep can clear a 4&#039; fence from a standing start if sufficiently motivated. Sneaking up behind them and screaming at the top of your lungs provides sufficient motivation.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s important to have at least one person who has done cooking for groups at a dig. Our catering staff were the wives of several of the junior professors and lecturers (a different time). Very nice people, but they didn&#039;t quite understand the difference between TEASPOONS and TABLESPOONS when it came to black pepper in the Chili. Even the camp dog required the chili to be cut with its weight of pasta before eating it.</p><p><br /></p><p>And while volume 1 of the British Army Field manual has all the <b>recipes</b> you need, volume 2 has the information to set up meal plans.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
