    Bloody Hell, that's over five years ago?

    Do you think any of them are still alive?

    What was life like back then?

    Was there still rationing?
    Excerpt from The Four Slappers of the Apocalypse.

    And when I had opened the fourth beer, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

    And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and her that sat on him was the wife, and Hell followed with her......

    Not quite.
    I was in the RA ACF at endbutt lane for 6 years untill 1979 when I joined the Army. We won the drill comp that year too.(79)
    Nobody believed that my ACF basic was harder than my Junior leaders training :D
    Whats Altcar like these days?
    I remember when the red rose club was a wooden hut

    Altcar...that brings back some memories. From about 1973 onwards until I took the Queens shilling in 78. Had many a bruised shoulder from spending all day on the ranges firing the .303. When I took the plunge and joined up to earn less than the minimum wage, I was gobsmacked at how the training glossed over training the ACF had drummed in to us day in day out for years.
