Thanks Huw and Geoff, no never heard of it or been there either - shame on you nick! Actually, I woke up this morning (Monday) and it suddenly hit me that I really might have missed a joke here and rushed to work to get onto EBME before you would have time to get to yours at work. As it occured to me that it might have been an expatriate's way of referring to places i.e a street perhaps where shady bak-sheesh (sorry for the spelling if it is a touch wrong!) and cully-wully deals are struck! Ali as in up Jebel's Alley. But thankfully I was not caught out - this time!!
