Its quite easy to tell the time Keith.
The little hand tells you the hour and the big hand the minutes. That is unless you have a digital watch!
By the way, did you know that hours and minutes go back to Babylonian times when they did their calculations on base '60' not base '10' like us (unless you are lost in the world of binary etc etc.?
Amazing what you learn watching TV.
I hope that you are keeping well.
I didn't realize that we had a Postie in 55/56. What a cushy job that must have been, sloping off to Brunswick every day for a handfull of letters for about 60 blokes many of whom could hardly read anyway (I Corps). Did you know him? No one ever wrote to me which might acount for my ignorance. There was one married chap who had a letter every day, I recall
I thought I was at Langeleben too, must have been dreaming. _________________ Mike Webber, I Corps Langeleben 57/58

Obviously no one remembered you Mike.
Alternatively I just missed you off the list which is far more likely!
I will amend the list immediately with the always present assistance of Tom.
By the way, I had the priviledge of being the Discriminator for B Watch at Langeleben from April '55 to July '56. Did you not see the blue plaque on the side of the int Wagon?
I think I remember you Mike, you were not dreaming, just permanently comatose like the rest of us in those heady days. I was on B watch at the same time with Rusty Rosson and Bob Wells. The other I Corps guys on our watch Jim Hayes and Roger Bannister were sent to the cookhouse on a midty to make the tea and cheese on toast for the watch, instead of putting the tea bags in the two buckets and infusing with hot water from the boiler tap they put a bucket load of tea bags directly into the boiler and made 50 litres of very weak tea. They spent their 36 hours off cleaning out the boiler.
