Enjoyed that very much Peter, though would not like to be a wing walker even if one of those delightful ladies offered to hold me hand!!
Regards
Nigel.

Thanks Peter,
Reminds me a little of the old Esso "put a tiger in your tank"
"hang one off your aeroplane" doesn't have the same ring to it.
I'm glad they mentioned Scandinavia, it looked like the audience was from Hong Kong.

Yeah!, I remember that. I had a 'Tiger Tail' attached to the back of my pedal car (a Ford Corsair, if I remember correctly)
Like this -
except mine was pale blue.
[Edit] - on second thoughts, that looks a bit 'posher' than the one I had. I seem to remember a 'foil' grill and lights.
PS - love the video, Peter and sorry if I've hijacked your post

Perhaps they all flew over in the Air China kite in the background?

My dad used the phrase.. , he picked it up serving on Okinawa after the war.
I doubt anyone would think it racist
however one may be misunderstood for casting an aspersion
... and not an acknowledgment of understanding.
Wakari masu ka? Mikey-San?
... and
Sorry for any continuance of hijacking, Peter
So let me just bring it a bit back on topic

Wakari masen.
Even the wingwalker looks Oriental!
"Mikey San" = toilet cleaner?
PS Hijacks of topics are good for you. Face to face conversations more often than not, stray from the opening subject.
To prove a point:
SWMBO
You still haven't cut the grass or fixed the door on the chook shed.
HWMB:
I'm going up the pub.
See?
