Mid 90's Posted to 'Sunny' Tidders from AFCENT with a MQ in Ludgershall...

Getting the furniture upstairs came to a grinding halt, until the window sill and bannister met the saw and were suitably 'trimmed' .... Well, okay then. They got well cut back.

Also had this brick shed/outhouse attached to the side of the house. A nice place to put the freezer I thought, but it just wouldnt fit. A quick phone call to the local Estate Warden who didnt quite catch on and quite obviously thought I was taking the p**s when I asked if I could take out the wall in the outhouse to get the freezer in.

A couple of hours later once the freezer was in and chillin nicely I rang said Estate Warden again, this time to book the bulk rubbish truck to remove a large pile of bricks that had mysteriously appeared outside the MQ.

Think he broke all speed records getting from Tidders to Ludgershall that day. Never did get a bill from that or any other MQ we had, although I don't think he ever thought a sapper was taking the mick on the phone again
