Remember we had that hot summer in 76, started about April and finished in September. We never had anybody bumbling on about climate change then did we?

March 1963 I did P Company at Maida. Ingrained in my memory to this day. The good bit was being stuck at Abingdon for two months, if I remember right, because the aircraft couldn't use the runway.
All the extra training films we had to endure were great for sleeping off the effects of nights spent in the 101 Club.

Re: ENUFF?

Abingdon, now there is a place to remember, like a trip to Butlins after going through P Company.

Re: ENUFF?

When I was there, a bloke called Jones was walking about on crutches he was one of the instructors there. I asked ours what happened to him, he said he was demonstrating the fan, and somehow the cable had become detached, and he piled in. FFS!

Re: ENUFF?

Way of life these days Dave, a few year back I had a leak in the dormer window, two geezers gave me a quote without even taking a ladder off the van. One said £300.00 and the other £250.00. I feked both off, another guy who was working just around the corner. Got up his ladder and said it's a cracked tile mate, same as the ones I'm putting on around the corner give me half an hour and I will replace that one for you £25.00. He got the job, there are still good guys about it's up to you to seek them out.

Thers nowt like the ways and means act for solving problems Dave, eldest daughter had a plastic Tap handle break off. She was going to by another tap, I took the screw top off a touthpaste tube stuck it inside the handle and it worked perfectly for the next few years till she moved house.
