Chris Rea has recently traveled back to late 1950’s Vietnam, where he has come up with a cunning plan to earn money to fund his time travels, he opened the Viet-Cong tactical clothing, & Army and Navy Stores, where he was the sole suppliers of black pyjama style clothing, cunningly placed on the Ho Chi Minh Trail, he also, with use of make up and his goatee beard, which made him look like Ho Chi Minh, made some advertising posters to be placed at strategic positions on the Ho Chi Minh Trail where he instructed recruits that they must buy their kit at his store, he was making money hand over fist selling his equipment, which he sold for nearly 11 years until until Ho Chi Minh himself put a stop to it, so on 18th December 1972 he flew the Turdis over Hanoi, to see if he could see what was going on there, and ask Ho if they could strike a deal to keep his shop open, this is when a massive auberge field explosion destroyed 2000 homes, leaving just a pile of rubble, in another twist of fate the US air force got the blame for it, and Chris decided to call it a draw and go home, due to another twist he didn’t realise that Ho Chi Minh actually died in 1969, so he couldn’t have done any negotiating anyway
