You probably got paid tons (atleast thats the rumour if you work in saudi)
Amazing country - the coral at the time was amazing
my mother hated it there - she spat on the floor when she arrived-couldnt handle the saudi&#39;s scratching there balls in front of her.
They confiscated any "provocative" pictures from our family foto albums.

Yeah, the money was good, about three times what l was earning in the UK, and l earned heaps there too, at least double what my mates were earning. The funny thing was, come pay day, they gave us this huge pile of cash, stood about six inches high on the table, and it looked like Monopoly money. When we went into town everything was duty free, which added to it&#39;s value.

The guy l worked for, Sheik Yamani, owned 22 miles of land north of Jeddha, including where the airport is. When he was in Germany once, he bought a road making machine. This thing crawled along, while the trucks drove up onto it to dump their loads. Out the other end came a 10 lane highway, 2 lanes - gap - 3 lanes - gap - 3 lanes - gap - 2 lanes. It was awesome. Along the northern coast of Jeddha, he built his highway, right along the coast, 22 miles long, dead straight and flat. So when you drove out of the city, you drove along a dirt road till you got to this road, 22 miles of freeway, then back on to the dirt road. No-one used it except us. We had our own motorbike club. We had a Yamaha Z1000 something-or-other, a proper drag bike, you had to lay down on it. We also had a Honda 4&#092;44 super sports, and a Suzuki trials bike that beat the Z1000 to 60&#33;

Great days, most of them, as you say, the reef was magic. l went to a few executions and floggings, got pushed to the front, as you do&#33; Played football on the beach with Arab families, slaughtered goats and all&#33; But there was always that underlying fear, you had to be really careful what you did all the time, where you went, who you spoke to, what company you kept, especially female company. We were allowed to drink in our compound, unofficially, of course. There was no shortage of alcohol, not counting what we brewed ourselves. We bought grass in 100 gramme lumps, inside corn cobs imported from Somalia. That could have got us executed, but hey, a guy&#39;s gotta smoke&#33;
