The factory could not quite get their heads around XXXXXL, they thought I
wanted a tent..
I showed them a picture of the North Korean leader and the penny dropped.

Sorry bones, I've only just fully read your post. As usual I fell asleep during
the second paragraph. I need you to be aware that my uniform is now so
uncomfortable that it is becoming depressingly difficult to fly these days. My
doctor is becoming very concerned about my welfare - he keeps insisting that I
need to breathe at least every minute.
Please contact your Chinese suppliers and tell them that, these days, JHB
pilots really do need XXL suits (that's UK/Canada XXL which is equivalent to
Chinese XXXXXL). I know that Mr Lucas is still skinny but just wait until he
has been retired for a few more years...

I can guarantee finding you all in the same place. Before any of you ask I am
trying hard to get the heating restored to the crew room and you may have
noticed Big Brian working on the oil tank at the rear of the building. He will
be back in a few days once his arm is better but in the meantime may I ask you
not to walk round that area or throw matches into the admittedly large pool of
red diesel that has collected after the incident. Anyway that is not the reason
I have popped in to see you.
I would like to introduce a new pilot to JHB. John Hunt has been using FSX for
several years and mostly in GA aircraft and VFR around the UK. He has recently
joined VATSIM/IVAO and would like to gain experience in both IFR and online
operations. I cannot think of a better bunch of wise, old pilots to help him
out. Well, I could, but they were too expensive..
John, welcome to the slightly mad world of JHB. I know the guys will take you
to one side and tell you that I run a shoestring outfit but that is just their
sense of humour. I hope you will enjoy flying with us.
Talking about outfits reminds me to tell you all that the last sets I ordered
were not too successful and replacements will be coming soon. There was nothing
poor about the quality of the last delivery from China but some confusion may
have crept in about the order. Somehow they got the impression that pilots are
fit and slim and made the clothes accordingly. I am in no way suggesting you
have all become a little more portly but the new outfits will be let out
slightly..
