my grandfather and his brother, who were both in different regiments, were both on the same boat, and neither knew about it until they got off at dover.

Including the boats, the Massey Shaw from the fire service and the Lord Southborough the lifeboat from Post Office, that don't really get the recognition for Operation Dynamo/Dunkirk. Not bad Ali, alot of background people wern't recognised in a Country atWar.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" <br>Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." <br>Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" <br>Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." <br>Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" <br>Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." <br>Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." <br>Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?":hand-orange-covering-eyes:
