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)

A lovely girl and I can also rremember Big Sue and "Kim the Skin" as well from the Bath Arms.

Dave, was it Rogers-Jones?

No Mike it wasnt him, I can see his face and will look out my old company photos, he was a tall lad. I also knew she had a thing with Martin Criddle, I was led to believe by an ex girlfriend in Market Drayton that Martn was rather well built in the nethe region which would explain why winnie had a thing for him

This thread has made me smile more often than I have for a long time.
Chow when you get a 70s reunion sorted we'll have to invite Winnie and co.
I remember the first Wednesday of every block leave meeting up with all the South wales members of the Bn. in the Market bar in Pontypridd (Market day) pubs were open all day in them days as well.
