the spanish have their main christmas event ( the three kings ) on the sixth of january , so quite a few of them , especially the older ones , dont even take the 25th off ; obviously it was an oldie driving the machine , and that evening , as i watched the last of them flying off into the sunset ( air taxi firms obviously dont recognise christmas either ) i remembered a comment that bob had made to me that previous evening sheila would certainly not recognise any of us now .
