A few years back we met the chap who invented Sikaflex. He, his wife and a couple of cats are Swiss (not sure if the cats are Swiss!)and live on a Dutch barge in France.
He is basically a chemist and didn't like all that went with the corporate world so decided to live the quiet life.
We spent a very pleasant few evenings with them over the years, they were both very shy and quiet people, and lovely to spend time with.
Their barge wasn't one of the Gin Palaces (yes there is such a thing with antique Dutch barges, it was a very basic original boat still painted in it's working colours.
Thought you might like this useless bit of information...
Think that's all it's proper to write except they became more and more retiring by stopping longer at out of the way river and canal sides.
At the same time we met several times the American who invented the pacemaker and who was totally deaf (he was about 80 years old when we knew him). He asked a lady friend of ours to phone his wife who was still in America on his behalf due to his deafness.
This she happily agreed to do but became slightly tongue tied when he insisted on discussing he and his wife's sex life. She was not too much of a prude (and neither were this elderly couple), but shouting at the top of her voice into his ear in graphic detail nearly beat her!
Ah but, I like a trip to the dealers - it's a good excuse for a nosey around some new vans
(Which in turn could turn out to be a VERY expensive tube of Sika or Simpson or whatever ).
