Re: Lest we Forget 'AGAIN'!
What a horribly obnoxious society we have become: "We will remember them", our own dead from previous conflicts. And at the same time sit around whilst lsrael slaughters its neighbours in a desperately unfair fight. I have previously asked on this forum "what is it that charachterises...

Re: Leonard Leach
1973 -1981, 8 years, an odd length of time to have served (?).
lt seems we served at least 6 years along side of each other, although l was posted away for four of those years.
The name rings many bells, but the bell tower echos so loudly that l can't hear myself think.

Re: Holidays??
We are going away for a few days, only a couple of hours drive from home. We have long wanted to overnight in a cave house. Thousands if people still live in caves in Spain and rent out rooms ... will update you all afterwards.

What was it that was great about service life ?
With hindsight, speaking as a single soldier, l would say 'Freedom' ! l mean we always had food provided and a place to sleep. Our taxes were deducted at source and so we never had to fill in a tax return. Essentially we were free to do whatever we wanted in our time off and the army offered us lots...

Re: Holidays??
Arnie, on second thoughts l'm going to give this one a miss. People have been debating this since the Jews ran away from Egypt ... and look where it got them, still fighting today. l have more reasons than a free breakfast to base my opinion on, as you know l'm not keen on Arabs, also for many reaso...

Re: Holidays??
Our wind comes mostly from the West, the Atlantic, so we should be ok. Although once a fan of lsrael, l grew to be appauled by the way they treat their fellow people - neighbours. l spent some time there in '81 with some mates ... it's a long story ... we caused a serious firefight between Jordan an...

Re: Holidays??
Hi Pinky, it was not my intention to tell others how to live or what to do on holiday, just to relate my own situation and experiences. No offence intended ! ;) Arnie, l am all for having strict immigration rules, what's going on in the UK and Europe is nuts ! I don't see any country not wanting wea...
