The travels of the Thrumpton Cap 17 of 26

17. Aug 30 The cap heads to the Middle East


The cap is away on his travels once again and it seems he is on his way to the lands of the tax free.

Attempting to put the small village of Thrumpton on the map he is travelling world wide on freebies meeting up with a variety of people. Earlier in the year he met the famous Hector the shoeshine man at Newark International Airport before hitching a lift on a Philadelphia police car.

After secretly turning back up at the home of village cricket for the August Bank Holiday his latest email with pictures reads.

Nice to get back down the Badger Oval once again to see some real cricket and to pay homage to the Dave Gant gate. I would have loved to stay longer but how could I risk being sold off on the car boot.

I flew out Wednesday morning, but how could I resist one last visit the night before to the home of football history and what a night that was down at the City Ground. I'm flying out to the tax free Middle East, hopefully a place where the taxman will stay away from.

Travelling is getting easier as I charm the ladies of the airlines and as you can see the very nice ladies from Emirates were more than happy to pose for a picture before they looked the other way to let me sneak on a flight. I just love meeting up with air stewardesses.

I will be back in touch next week to tell you where I am heading for, thats if they let me in. Best of luck for today against Medstead and for the weekend
