They walk amongst us.....

Not wishing to enter into the maps in Bible matter, I just recall that
in my past British Army days in Brunei during the last months of
'Confrontation', we had a Gurkha patrol badly overdue from a sector
close to the Indonesian border, some days passed and our hopes were
decreasing when the patrol returned, the redoubtable Gurkha Sergeant
in command of the patrol reported that he was overdue as he had
followed the map, which he produced...would you believe...London
Underground! Thank Heavens he followed the Central Line!
