          I'll have you know it was a very stressful tour, sometimes we worked till 14:00.

                Pat I would imagine Thetford is very nice.....if you ain't a soldier. Same with the Brecon Beacons, I bet the place is quite tranquilising in a cold three day rain storm. Tucked up in some little hillside cottage with your feet by the fire....... sipping your cocoa. Instead of being outside, sleep deprived, piss wet through, on a windswept slope, with horizontal rain smacking you in the chops, trying to get away from it all. Trying to cleave shelter in a hole, like a mole and wishing that lying cnut in the recruiting office an indescribably 'orrible death.

                      It wasn't so much as a holiday for us though Tony, although we managed a few nights in the town with the Yanks over from Nam. Not many times as some though, as we had duties on the boarder.
                      We were mostly on the boarder for a few weeks duty 4hrs on 4 hrs off, continues for 4 weeks.
                      Can you imagine that? Within the 4 hrs off we had to keep our kit completely bulled up.
                      Also on other parts of the boarder where supplies could only be reached by the RASC Donkey Plt, and for a couple of weeks all we had to eat was Hardtack and cheese processed.
                      Not all fun and games for us hey, but some had to do the hard work?
