is your email broken?

sorry, I totally forgot to reply


I've sent you a total stream-of-consciousness ramble... I hope you can make something of it!!!

No worries!

Ok, I've just read it, that's excellent

I reckon that's probably enough info, so now I will stop harassing you.

It's fun doing these interviews. Both yourself and Matt have been good interviewees - not needing too much prodding to rattle on!

thank you...
feel free to ask, it's one period of my life that I really don't mind talking about - we did a lot and I never have to talk shop, which is a relief because hunting down each and every hootooer and killing them would get me in a lot of bother


can I just add, though: when I joined up my dad was still serving. And I got a lot of "oh I knew your dad, we were sergeants together" (beginning with the lady RSM at guildford, passing through my troop OC at Catterick and on and on in the signals...)

But towards the end, he was also at a signals unit for his last part of service, it switched and he got a lot of "I know your daughter, blimey..."

Have a look and see what important things may be missing. I'll tidy it up etc. before I submit it.

blimey...

ok, 2 things if you don't mind?
at the beginning... since you mentioned the South Essex - p'raps we could put "I tried to join the 95th Rifles but apparently they don't exist..."

and there's a comment half way through about plenty of time off... can you change it to "when possible, we were compensated with time off - however at other times we worked back to back double shifts for extended periods."



I'd almost forgotten about this!
