It is a very small world, like going to Inverness you can never leave without seeing a Wicker. Not as far as Bahrain though
Before we moved up, whenever I told anyone I was heading up to Wick all I got was "My friend is from..." or "I know someone from..." Wickers seemed to be everywhere.
I mind working in west africa and my boss's wife came from Thurso! We got a good crack going there.:)

we were queueing to get into disneyworld and faither tapped the lad in front on the shoulder and it was someone he had worked with in dounreay
the next time in disneyworld couple of years later, again he went to speak to the couple at the next table, it was the person who had tested his hearing in inverness the week before

I met this guy in the Dilmun Club in Sar - however I have been known to frequent some of the other bars.
aye wickers get everywhere...still wouldnt have thought you would meet one in bahrain. it is a small world after all.
we have met people from caithness in Bulgaria when i went skiing used to go to school with 1 of them.
lynsey talyor from thurso and tanya horne from wick, were in the pool and beach area of the west edmonton shopping mall, when a woman stopped them and asked are you girls from caithness, she was from thurso herself originally and heard the accents ....
I've actually met a lot of Thurso people on my travels in Australia, USA, Nigeria, Togoland, France, Germany, Singapore.......etc etc, also met loads of people (or descendents of people) from Lybster! This was the first Wicker though.
did you ever venture into the manama area of bahrain for the british club, jjays irish bar, bj's nightclub, rock bottoms, trendy bar, camelots castle, cosmos any of these ring bells?!?!?!?!
I've been in them all mate and more.................better not go into too much detail though;)
