From Jarrow to Jebel Ali - (On a Beer Bus) (Paperback)

A book based on some of the unique characters and situations encountered in the course of construction projects in The Middle East . The cast includes all the usual suspects Europeans, Australians, Americans and fellow workers from throughout the Asian sub-continent etc... The account is based around the jobs, reviews of the best hotels to be thrown out of, men behaving badly in public, how to avoid work interfering with really important stuff and the endless search for the perfect 'Happy Hour' The timescale mainly covers before, during and after the Iraq/Iran Tanker War. Although based in Arabic countries the anecdotes will appeal to anyone who would like to expand their social and geographical boundaries, and just possibly gain an insight into the lengths people will go to maintain and improve the quality of their life, dignity and beer supply ...
