It's 1970 something, and I am doing a tour as a Corporal A. tech A at Cranditz. As many if you gentlemen! Will know, the station parades were always practised on the small parade square in front of the H Block accommodation, across the road from the famous orange. One of my SAC's (known as "Punkah Wallah"), passing, and noticing the SWO taking an evening drill practice for an upcoming parade, decide to apply some abuse to "the Tate and Lyle wearer". Having shouted his finest profanities towards the said bearer of the stick, he made a run for the door in the corridor joining the two halves of the H block. Ooops, door was locked, oops, no escape. Punkah did not enjoy his Jankers, but the SWO did.
