Mrs Pongo

This may not apply to MM, but it is best not to let on that you used to be RAF aircrew. My mate, the late 'MisMIke' - 'Victor Meldrew'.
of BA 777 fleet - and I were at a Colonel's house and Mrs Colonel, having checked we were both on the Herc in 72, spent the whole evening berating us for killing her friends by dropping them in the Kiel Canal. This was 30 years later and no amount of "no we weren't on that exercise" and "but the pongos were responsible for marking the DZ" would mollify her! I did think of spoiling the whole evening by saying " you were just a wife, what the f**k has it got to do you?", but was saved by No1 son, a 'Jag Mate', who saw 'that look' come into his Pa's eye and whisked me away for another beer!
I've always avoided Mrs senior pongos since then.
