Re: Where was your parent on VE-Day?
That John is one that may never be won as long as the 'girls' are around in some foreign placed where some unsuspecting male will go.
Getting your leg over at the time distorts the thinking process and the thought of catching some present is not there.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Where was your parent on VE-Day?
My mother was 16 at the time and was working in the co- op at the time, she told me the manager let them have a small celebration in the store room. My dad was still at sea so don't know his exact whereabouts, they had still to meet, my dad was still at sea when they did and he missed his last ship because of meeting her.
