Anyhow apologies for getting ahead of those genuine fortieth anniversary tales, maybe we can return to the post war stuff when it's appropriate in a few months and in the meantime hopefully the likes of Mogwi will be back with the genuine war stories.
(FWIW I was present for the incident alluded to above; happy to recall at the appropriate time in recognition of the plea above.)
