Well sir, when you have a wife and 7 children plus 8 other children who are living with relatives in Council Houses, (Property given to you to live in by the local authorities in exchange for rent), every little helps. Of course having only been taught the basics at Comprehensive School (a school where everyone can go whatever your home background or educational standards, and it is even free), not wise enough to shop anywhere but NAAFI even when serving in the UK. So to be perfectly honest today is more important than any other day in the year and a great cause for celebration and no mistake.
