    I used to live in Pompey amazed they still have navy days, When I left the MN I lived in London and Joined the Parchate Reg Res moved back to pompey and joined The Royl marines res at Eastney, Lords of the Admerlty found out I was Ex MN and sent me to RNR Southampton to Mine sweepers, Used to sail out of HMS Vernon somtimes. Very supprised when i went back to the UK after 16 Years away and found not only Venon gone but halfe the Dockyard gone. The pubs I used to know all closed down , Do not know what to think And now Pompey have been relgated what can one say.
