My stories of my UK stay

[j.sabourn]

Did once years ago have a good (G) stuck in my book for conduct after telling some useless sod on a foreign ship his life story. I just stuck a V in front of it, shows you how bright he was. May have been on the verge of missing ships in my younger days but always seemed to make it, what you call cowardice I suppose. Still only into the first bottle of whiskey, must be slowing down. Cheers John Sabourn

Funny how Lou's story about his time spent in the UK can end up being hijacked about womens nipples.

I can se your point Lou, about traffic etc, and as a matter of interest the only country that could tempt me from England, with all its faults, would be dear old New Zealand, absolutely love the place, particularly South Island. But I`m too bloody old, and have nothing to offer now, so my bones will stay here in England KT

Yes Jim it funny how things get mixed up never mind i will continue with my story after a couple of days rest i felt a bit better so on the Friday morning i decided to go for a walk round the neighbourhood my family at work and the kids at school .My daughter had given me a key so that i could get in while everyone was a way out but (no brians Lou ) forgot the key .When i arrived back at the house at lunch time i thought well i am not going to sit on the doorstep till 4pm so off to the local pub just a few minutes away so i spent a few hours having a good few pints of beer and having a good yarn to the bar man who i got to very well after my stay in the UK the name of the pub is The Old Goat very adaptable for me i hope to put some photos of the pub later on .I was looking forward to my trip to the Trinity gardens for the BoA Ceremonies the next day more later

[Lou Barron]

On the 11th May my daughter and grandaughter took the train from Fulwell railway station to Waterloo Station (about half an hour trip)and the the underground to Tower Hill i was just in time to join the short parade to the MN memorail gardens as you can see to my post 20 it was a most emotional ceremony with several VIP people giving speeches it was almost 2hours standing there while all this was going on plus a lot of wreath laying going on (i think they have been some photos been on this site before)As the time was going on and my daughter had to get home it i did not have tickets to go to the Reception we had to leave and believe me it was a bit of a problem a there were crowds of people every where .It took us a few hours to get home but i sure did enjoy the experience my only regret that i did not get to talk to ex MN people while there more later
