Not sure if it is an age thing but life was more fun in those days. You took it and dished it out. We had the section sacrificial pillock. In the main we all got on and made some good friends.
Very true Drag, during my stint, 1964_1986, we tore each other up for a**e paper. I have seen tears shed at the crewroom bridge school, but at the end of the day we all drank together and woe betide any outsiders who tried to have a pop.
