Many a time big shipments and many charters. So I also visited Stavanger doing a market research there. So, next to The Hague, this is already the 2nd city where I might have met you, Bob.<br />On the old advertising sign I also see a mention of corsets.

Interesting how the work clothing has changed. Salopettes as we called them I always identified with the american farmer. Australian farmers have not worn this sort of trousers with a bib. Overalls were, and are mainly worn by car mechanics.
