In contrast, the CPO at Lyneham in earlier times was renowned for being in a foul mood if Swindon Town (I think he sat on the Board) had been beaten that day.
I remember him well, a Mr P...son ISTR, but to be fair he once asked me to buy him a Car Coat in Singapore or Hong Kong (in the early 60's all the rage and virtually unobtainable in the UK). As clothing I don't think there was any duty or tax to pay so his conscience was possibly salved and I didn't mind as I was building up brownie points for the next time I arrived back in the UK on a Sunday or Monday following a Saturday when Swindon Town had been thrashed, hoping he'd remember me well enough to be lenient with my declared imports.
