SWO bits
The scene is a base near Weston-S-Mare in the mid 80s and young Belle is duty trainee in the guardroom. In walks SWO and goes into his office and sits down. After a minute SWO shouts "what's the number for clothing stores?" Dunno, Sir says me. "Get me the number" he bellows again. I search for the phone book and discover that the phone book is on his desk and I tell him that from the safety of the door. "AND" he says.
Bleedin' SWO expected me to go into his office, pick up the phone book and look for the number and then dial the number and hand the handset over to him.......................and that's exactly what I did!
