Men at Work in Egypt

Egyptian children do conform to the traditions of the UK-roadsign-family (explained in Iceland). But Egyptian workers don't. The Egyptian roadworker is related to the Mediterranean Worker. A type of workman which is present in most countries around the Mediterranean Sea. It could be all countries but I wrote most because I'm still waiting for samples from some huge territories in the region. (The force is explained in Slovenia.) Nowhere in the region (perhaps the world) are men at work harder at work than in Egypt. They nearly collapse under the effort. Are they digging up 2k millennium bugs? Maybe, because we didn't see them after that disastrous year.

Our more recent finds are mostly of the standardized Mediterranean kind. But it happens that a nice piece of work turns up: a man with a cap and a pair of feet.

Noticed the seal on two of our Luxor samples?
It says: The Arab Contractors - Osman Ahmed Osman & Co
