Eye View (CM 25 Feb 2 Marchj) concening our colleague Chris Mason and his Turkish Puzzle, but were a little surprised that you were having difficulty with TEYP.
Surely if the Turkish lads has asked for overalls and they were in the trucking industry, then they needed caps to complete the image. We can only guess that a cap goes on the TEYP of HEYAD, QED as they say — but probably not in Turkey. . .
Also, with reference to the Australian Volvo story, we can only hope your correspondent is indulging in some fairly energetic leg pulling; 3,780Icm (2,360 miles) at 78mph and all at an average fuel consumption of say, 8.9mpg! Mind you, it's not noted as to what load is hauled, so maybe it's glider engines or yacht fuel. On the other hand, the Perth to Port Hedland route is Road Train country so perhaps they're three trailers up and 115 tonnes GTW. No wonder Volvo are doing well!
