My son did not manage the 22 year stint in the 1st Royal Tank Regiment but he stayed in long enough to now have a career that takes him all over the world.
my wife and I twice spent a couple of weeks with him at the panzer house at Englepolze (might be spelt wrong), beneath the "Grunten" mountain in Bavaria.
Our oldest daughter is an uncivil servent and our youngest daughter is a teacher. Most of their upbringing is down to my wife of 53 years but maybe my Ludite ways have helped a bit.
Sorry to be rattling on a bit but I think the Hobgoblin is taking over, so I will now sign off.

Stay happy as always, Taddy, The Lancashire Ludite.

What, No reply from "Dave in Germany" as an ex military man I expected to receive at least a little bit of flack from you ?
All the best Taddy.
