    Wonderful Gentlemen,

    I wish we could open up a Truck paint shop over here. It would take off the same way the Balti did throughout the country. It would make a bleak economic environment, and dull motorways very lively, indeed people would be smiling when looking at the trucks going by. That would be a great joy to watch while travelling. Health and safety would never allow it though, they are too busy restricting creativity, rather thasn allowing the economy to develop.
