A slight detour to ACDC, Heaton Park

I have just been reading through a pamphlet which was issued to airmen who were "on hold" at ACDC, Heaton Park, Manchester and I came across this section which I thought I would share, as I love the manner in which it is written:

"Mugs are issued to you against your signature when you arrive at this station and returned by you when you leave us. If your mug is damaged on return you will have to pay the cost of a new one (about 7d.) so look after it.

Crockery is not easy to get these days (as witness the things they get you to eat out of when you go home on leave). If you want to take away a souvenir of Heaton Park, take a piece of mud ... there is plenty of that, but don't take it all, because we like to do a bit of mud-slinging amongst ourselves sometimes."
