    Is nobody else curious?

    FA - from what are you fleeing? Don't say "winter is coming".
    I already asked (post #10) but he doesn't seem inclined to reply. Might give the game away, I guess. "I plan to murder Donald Trump during his visit to the UK", for example, would be a real giveaway (though there might be a queue for that).

    So you did. I missed that. Still only 2 after 800 views though!

    Is FA a villain, a spy, Richard Kimble, a Walter Mitty type? Who else goes on the run???

    FA - Always remember it's not paranoia if they're really out to get you.

    That's the last we'll hear from Biggles :wave:

    Might be best to start getting a comprehensive set of disguises and false identities ready for your time on the run; wigs, hats, false moustaches etc, etc.

    Remember, mon ami, it iz zee earz that are 'ardest to, 'ow you say, disguise.



    Come to think of it, Abraham old fruit, could one consult with ancient refugees from Hitler - how did their parents bury their stuff? Or would some memoirs tell the story? But that would be from days before metal detectors.


    UPDATE: I've got it! Just bury it where you've buried your revolver.

    Hide it away behind the wafers in your Tabernacle?

    Why do you think I was careful to put it in quotes?
    ;-)

    Mind you, things are always being taken out of context on the internet, sooner or later it will be "Biggles said......" etc!

    Let's see. To try to avoid commercial use of the hiding spot (eg plowing) I suggest a public right of way footpath. That ensures easy access.

    Burying it would be tricky with people wandering past, so I suggest the traditional night time dig. Preferably with a rising ground mist for effect.

    Then you need to remember where it is. A landmark such as under a tree is often used but if left for any time those roots will grow and wrap themselves round it making retrieval a lengthy process. Not much good when you are on the run.

    Instead I suggest an open patch of ground, buried deep. You will need to record the precise GPS coordinates, or better still a map of the area written on parchment with a large "X" marking the spot and the words "Treasure Map" unwisely written at the top in gothic script.

    Why not put it on the Cloud. That's where everything is going to end up eventually.

    Happily all this cheerful nonsense has suggested to me a fine place to bury stuff. Alas I can't tell you where, obs.

    If you only need to hide it for a bit you could post it to yourself?
