[HUG] Re: Per Nordlund is back...and nervous

You will need IR film to cut through the peasoupers (fog) in the
winter. Also hay to feed the horses. Oh I nearly forgot the bedbugs in
all UK beds (though these are also normal in AU these days). A geiger
counter may be of use as Bristol is near Berkley power station. Anyway
have a good trip we British love having visitors to be inhospitable
to.
