Widger,
I fear you may have misread my post as a p@@@@@g contest it is not. As a ex RAF FC, I was merely standing up for the Freddies!
Back in the old days, RN guys would come over and few would go back. I suspect that Mrs Freddie drove the issue on most accounts having become accustomed to Mr Freddie coming home every night for a few years!
Some top ex fish heads wearing blues these days.
