This is my nearest city, about an hour away.......but the population of Glasgow is only about 1million, and the whole population of scotland is only about 5 million (about a quarter of the population of Cairo :shock: I think anyway...)
Thought it might bring back some memories for Eastern Girl.. |

The tutor came from Cairo, he was a lecturer in something else (can't remember what it was though).......but he did evening classes in Arabic too 8)
That was when I realised I was getting old, my memory's gone
I DID get a certificate at the end of it though.....but I think that was just for turning up every week :oops: |
