Many moons ago having got bethrothed to my domestic manager I met her new step father, who my nagger in law was totally besotted with.
Bold as brass this fella starts on about how he was in the Paras during the Suez Crisis, driving his tank through Cairo??
Being a kind and gentle soul I said that that must have been amazing and ........when was that ?
1959
My roast tatty at that point ejected itself out of my right nostril
.
He is still with us blissfully unaware that all who know him know, as he walters away playing the guitar with Eric Clapton etc etc
Bless
