I did my training in Wrexham in 1958.When we had the inter platoon boxing comp. my Pln. Sgt. Roy Blewitt, was my second. I had a worst hammering in the corner with Roy showing me what todo than i got in the ring. I was glad when the bell rang so i could get out of the corner and have a rest.

OK my error but if we relied on correct spelling would not life be boring, and am I bothered?

If there was an award for the worst speller on the net, well I would not be lonely would I?

PS

I am not sure if he was but hey

But it is so much more refreshing to imagine a platoon sergeant of the 'old school', especially one who went on to have an illustrious career, saying 'emasculate' when he meant to say 'immaculate'! When I was Chief Clerk of 1 D and D we had an RSM who often made mistakes like that - but we ALWAYS knew what he meant.

Just a bit of harmless ribbing, Barry and I go back some way.

When I joined the Army . well the sigs pl. well, sometime after but annnnnnnnyway, Barry made a quote I'll never forget.

Taking a lesson in Ternhill on a sigs cadre, one of the students gawping out of the window.

"Oy, you, what you gawpiing out the window for? Pay attention or the next window you look out of will have BARS ON!"
