Ice Cold in Alex

Why, oh why, would you plan your own not-so-dynamically packaged holiday in Egypt when several of your clients offer smoothly run holidays to the same country? Well, if you want to enjoy the delights of a sweltering NINE hour train ride and two hours by bus, it’s the best way to do it.

In fact the plot hasn’t changed in 50 years. Here’s Jamie, as Sir John Mills, coming to the end of an epic journey through the scorching sands, having stayed just one step ahead of the German tourists while dreaming of a freezing lager at his favourite Egyptian hotel bar. Cheers!
