Dewi, Cariad I am far from being in in full ow't but what the heck. The sensual Sally Boazman, a voice like I imagine Marlene's to be, deep and seductive but look at her on either he website or the BBC one and view her in t'bath. By Gum, a reet comely wench, there's BIG and there's Comely and said wench is 'Reet Comely'.
My lusts, however, are shared twixt 'The Splot Tottie' Lynn Bowles and Bobbie Pryor, the ex Invicta Lass. Forgive me Father for I am going to SIN, WITH A BIT OF LUCK and a can of Robin STARCH.

Dewi, Cariad, dare I correct you but after being blown from Lane 1 to Lane 3 and back again, I think I dare ow't.
The curvacious Ms Boazman is a Reet Comely Wench but not a 'TOG' wench. The sensuosly lustable Hot Splottie Hottie is noy the Wogan wench. Lynne Bowles, I love you, a mucky chuckle, to me a wench to lust after but then an outsider.
Bobbie Pryor, the lass that fills in when t'others are unavailable is 'Sensuous', I have heard her before on I think 'Radio Victa' but my memory is amiss.
I even have' Shorep' as being good looking, SORRY GOT TO GO . i CAnnt type IN A straiGHT jACKeT

Hi Mike, Great to see you back and in such fine fettle. Yes it is wonderful how these topics of our evolve, when putting up a new idea, it is never possible to predict what they’re going to lead to. Your story of the delectable telephonist Christine from Wolfenbuttle puts me in mind of Sally Traffic on the Radio 2 Terry Wogan show. She has a wonderful voice with dulcet tones to die for; but I believe a figure which in these politically correct times is probably known as “fuller”. All the best, Dave T. _________________ 77 88 Old, Fat, Grey & Grumpy

Hi Mike, I have no wish to distract you from your lane weaving on the M6, I just trust you’ve not got calls in or north of Cumbria. With your chosen trade of white van driver, you undoubtedly spend many hours a week listening to your radio, so I must bow to your superior knowledge with regards to the delectable ladies. I usually listen to Radio 4, except for when Gardeners Question Time comes on. I can put up with Womans Hour, the Morning Service and look forward to the afternoon play, but not GQT, that really has to be the pits. I’m up in Scotland Sunday through to Thursday, so things will be a bit quite from this part of the world. All the best. Dave T. _________________ Dave Thomas 2 Sqn 13 SR, '63-'66

Hi everyone
I was just thinking this as well, glad to see our Mike back even if he and Pete Shoreland seem to have invented a kind of Esperanto all their own Also as you say wonderful to watch a topic evolve.
I know what you guys did at Langeleben was top secret and involved radios but I didn't think in my wildest dreams that the radio work involved Woman's Hour and Terry Wogan! There was me thinking I was a NAAFI girl for a team of heroes at their radio stations protecting the likes of little old me who was busy making lots of butties and cups of tea to keep up your strength and you are sat with your feet up listening to Women's Hour?

Dewi, Cariad, I tend to listen to Radio 2 until Wogan has finished and then switch to a 'Talking Book'. Wonderful, for anyone who has never tried the 'Talking Books' on either Tape or CD THEN DO SO! Trust me, you will enjoy listening to books / authors that you would never consider reading but will enjoy, totally, listening to.

IF Bob Wells still writes in this age of rampant chinese produced technology I should hope he uses a 2H pencil like he made me use and therefore put the Biro factory on short time

I have to admit I still use a 2H pencil. Not for log pads but now it's a shopping list.
Some of you out there may remember Paddy Rogers, he didn't go to Germany but instead he was posted to Cyprus around 1956/57. Whilst in training he met up with Geoff Pearce. They became good friends, letters where exchanged but like a lot of us contact was lost.
Now I happened to be looking at the photographs from 1957 and there was one of Geoff with an unknown Scouse, who I'm almost certain was Jimmy Dunn. The only other piece of information I have regarding Geoff is that he came from Dagenham.
Do any of you old soldiers know the whereabouts of Geoff ?
By the way I'd have written this a lot quicker than it's taken me to type it
Bob,
Its an odd thing but I still use 2H which I buy by the box every 5 or so years (and with a chisel point too). I wonder where I picked up that habit? I think it might have been Mike Bailey whose log sheets were, for their time, almost works of art.
By the way, when did you learn to write? That's news to me.
Look forward to seeing you again next month. Take care & Look after yourself! Not many of us left.
Funny old thing - this memory business. Bob writing about 2H pencils suddenly reminded me that in Christmas 1955 I was given the job of writing all the unit Christmas cards, a job I think that Gordon inherited a year or so later. Fifty years on ... who on earth did the 'Unit' send them to?
Not quite, Paul. The CO of 34 LAA regt RA, Sheerness, decided that each Battery should keep a haircut register. This was the job that fell to me. I managed to spin it out, together with amendments to Queen's Regulations, until - O happy day! - I was transferred to the Russian course. Do you think my lovingly penned haircut register is preserved somewhere in the Ministry of Defence?

Hello Bob,
I was on watch with Geoff Pearce, Eggy Beavers and others.
The last time I saw him was in November 1960 on the way back from Cyprus with George Girling and we were on one of the London stations when Geoff came dashing up, had a few words with us but was late for some meeting or other and could not stay to talk.
I was also with Paddy Rogers in Cyprus and a few years ago he turned up at one of the Langeleben reunions in Loughborough. He was only there for a short time and I do not think he is a member but he did not live too far away from Loughborough so if you track him down he may still be able to help with Geoff.

Info for Tom and Bob, its likely that you may get Paddy,s details from Dave Geere or Ben Banyard. He definitely is residing in Lough ( Dishley or Thorpe Acre) Saw him a few months ago in town, dashing for a bus.

It may be of some interest that the last time I saw Geoff was at Len Hill's 21st in '59. Quite a few of us old A Watch hands were invited. I believe those included were Eggy Beevers, Geoff, Jock Cunnion, and here I may be mistaken, but Bill Bowles may have attended. Of course the idea of a reunion on a yearly basis was floated but like many good ideas at the time nothing happened. Its takes rather a special person to organise one of these things, step forward Frank Mitchell!! I digress a little when, in my opinion of course, I say, if Frank's name is not on this commemerative stone/tablet/whatever it will be a travesty of justice! IMO of course.
Back to the search for Geoff. Anybody thought of contacting the Barking & Dagenham Post? A human interest story for them I would have thought. You know the kind of thing, long lost mate from the fifties etc etc. Thats how Frank found me as a matter of fact in Oct.'96.
Going back to Len. After his party he came up here (Grimsby) to live and stayed with me for a couple of years. He got married just after me and we still kept in touch but he went back to London and then the Christmas cards etc stopped. Tried to find him but nothing transpired. Even dear old Frank had a go. I've tried recently but had no luck so I wish you well in your search for Geoff.......................
