There was a guy who told it from life experiences too - went through WW2, Dunkirk and all - POW for 3 yrs - then later went on to have 8 children, lost his wife, when the youngest (me) was 1 year old - brought us all up and carried on working full time too - how many so-called "new men" could handle that !!!

and for info for fellow readers - the song is "Deodata" by Les Crane, released in the 70's - please listen to the words
