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.

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.

There was a lad of six in the bath looking down on his male appendage.
Is that my brains he asked mum,
Not yet son but by the age of 16 they will be.

My Dad was still in north Germany having walked out of a prison camp to the south of Hamburg. The camp guards had already fled in case the Ruskies continued westwards, faster than was reported. Dad was found by a forward rec group of the Kings Own Scottish Borderers and was taken to an airfield where he was processed and put on a Hamden Bomber for repatriation at half his fighting weight after five years in captivity. Due to his membership, pre-war, of the TA, he was deemed 'regular' and had to 'turn to' after only a month at home and join a munitions disposal team in Somerset and then back home in Scotland, dealing with explosives and gas which were loaded onto barges in Ardrosson and dumped at sea in Beauforts Dyke in the North Channel. Eventually demobbed Nov '45. I was born fourteen months later.
