add to the boat thing, that i can get sea sick on a pond and you get more idea
of why they didn't come up in my dreams

and how funny is it that i appreciate the Tattoo's now more than i did when i
lived there. not that i didn't appreciate them back then. but maybe more now
that i see so few.

Boats were only in my dreams too, Frank, until I came to the States and
ultimately owned several  They say that, rather like owning a Jag, the two
happiest days of a boat-owners life are the day he buys it and the day he
sells it.

And, I should have said the Royal Tournament, rather than the military tattoo.
My addled 63 year old brain couldn't come up with the correct name at the time
I wrote my note.

never did the boat show.
could not afford any of those cars they where showing, so a boat was not even
in my dreams

Dolly birds?  You're a child of the 60s, Frank!

Personally, my best memories of Earls Court was the boat show and the annual
military tattoo, especially the Navy's field gun contest.  My dad would yell
himself hoarse if the lads from Pompey (Portsmouth) looked like they would
beat the Devonport barracks.
