SWO at Odius had an assistant, many moons ago, SAC Br***es? who had a really broad Yorkshire accent but was not renowned for being that bright, He always Started Tannoy Messages in his Broad Yorkshire accent with "Standby for Broadcast, Guardroom Tannoy!" at which we rushed to phone the Guardroom as the phone was next to the Tannoy and in all the years I was there he never had the sense to lift it off the hook....... He would bumble on flustered with the phone ringing all the way through his messages.

Swo was a nice Gent though, arrived fresh faced as an LAC, knocked on the hatch to be met by an old Gent who asked me if I knew anything about Tomatoes.... That was the SWO! We then later got Jack Holt, a man with little humour and even less stature.
