Lovely Wadey.
And despite the privations of the war, weren't the ladies elegant?

Marina Mae certainly capture the essence of the 40's....she is beautiful ib both of those pictures.

Oh, I should have complimenteed the men too.......they were well turned out and handsome...not a trainer or a T-shirt in sight.
The men in uniform......WOW, no wonder the ladies of the day swooned!

If some of the tittle-tattle I heard as a youngster is true it was the German and Italian uniforms the Ossy lasses were 'swooning' over not to mention the Yanks at Burtonwood , seem to remember something about a Saturday night bus service to and from Burtonwood running from the Boulevard .
Guess its not the sort of thing you should really ask your old grannies about though :eek: :eek:

Re: East Lancs War Weekend
 

I don't think my old grannies would have been part of that scene....one of them has been dead for 55years the other for 40 years........and the uniforms I was talking about were the Naval and RAF uniforms and the young chaps in them, over the last weekend.
OK, I know these guys were just pretending...but if the real thing was anything like the fake........oh, never mind.

Have a cold shower !

Joking aside Marina is a lovely girl, she's just finished her A levels and was invited to Jersey as part of the Royal Wedding celebrations, I think her next day off is November
