Have just browsed through your thread and was delighted to see a picture of The Majestic Hotel. I certainly spent many nights there. Were any of you there the day the Sqdn Ldr C.O. ( An ex cricketer I think) blew his top because of our indiscipline Called an early morning parade and ALL I repeat ALL would attend....Well most of us were there when one member appeared on the balcony in his dressing gown smoking a cigarette.He just leaned on the balcony whilst the C.O. screamed for someone to " Go in and bring him down" Well the chap just lingered long enough to give himself time to get away.But that was not the end of the story.Whilst the CO. was berating us, a large Alsation dog, locked lovingly to another smaller dog which he trailed from the bushes behind the CO. Well the whole parade collapsed in laughter which the CO. thought was against him!. The parade just left group by group for the Copper Kettle or some such place with the screams of the CO. ringing in rheir ears.
