: Thanks Mick, re the Egyptian Queen, and i think the best person to talk to about the thunder flash, is Mr Catt, but i will tell you all how Strait St got its name, if you remember the botten end of this St drops down to the end of Valletta, well the maltese would say in thoses days, the belly of Valletta, We Brits as norm changed it to the GUT,
It's amazing how much you lot know about the country where I was born. Strait Street, in my youth, was where the school dentist used to be located, so I never looked forward to going there, unlike the rest of you! I never knew anything went on there until after I joined the Army. I actually went there one evening to see what all the fuss was about, but I never went in any of the bars!
