Mo Ullah and Misfit knew her very well, ask them about the Drummer/Bowls

John, What about the one in the wheel chair
Yes chow - she is still in Warminster and still a big girl, and her friend big Sue is still about but not so big any more
last time i saw winnie was in warminster . i was guard commander at the school of inf and had to go round to her house with most of the guard ,to ask her to give back the three gurkhas she had borrowed for the week end great girl ....
did williams 50 borrow that young lady's chair one dark night to get back to camp from the king Arther ??????????
dont remember a big sue??not in tidworth.have talked to winnie a couple of times in the last few monthes she is still as cheerfull as she was...great girl.cant remember the girl in the wheel chair!!but did hear about the ..left her high and dry thing!!
Warminster was my first posting and I remember Sam Cornish taking me to the Bath Arms for a night out and introducing me to Winnie, she had a thing about new lads in the Battalion then but I made a swift sharp exit. Cant remember his name but i remember a new lad who was posted to 10 Platoon a few months later and he got "kidnapped by Winnie" he was quite smitten by her for a good few months. A lovely girl and I can also rremember Big Sue and "Kim the Skin" as well from the Bath Arms.
Skipper Wood and Clutterbuck could tell a few stories about Winnie, if my memory serves me right.
Dave Criddle was the boy Winnie was interested in, she used to even come to the guard room and ask for him - she kidnapped him for a whole weekend once, she used to pay to get him drunk in the King Arthur and send him in a taxi to her place (for corrective training)
thanks guvs..have let clutts know i have her number ..but for some reason he didnt want it???lol
Dave, was it Rogers-Jones?Quote:

Nothing wrong with your memory Guv's
