Nasty, dangerous work. Specially for those at the chemical end.
Please pass on my heartfelt thanks and respect.

My grandad was a Blacksmith in Pompey docks, seems he spent most of his time nicking stuff ( is only hearsay, nobody saw anyfink, there's no evidence, you can't prove anyfink).

She's read this and says "thankyou"

Very clever Lady she is..

Wisest of us all too

Sorry, but couldn't help doing your second phrase as Yoda in my head.

The Lady's age gives me some hope though, makes me mathematically middle aged again

Now there's a bit of context.. She was my age when I was two!
What an archive of the last century you have there.. My grandparents had tanks parked up their street before D-Day, my dad was passed around the crews by his older brothers hoping to scam chocolate or fags. My mum's dad was RN and survived two sinkings.. Young and stupid I missed the chance to talk to them about it.
Now all I do is watch war stuff on Yesterday..

Aye does add context lol!
Funny watching History documentaries, and having a voice come up from her knitting and say "i remember that" lol

My Great Grand Father unfortunately passed on in 1994 at 85 so i never met him, though i'm told he is where i get my height and build from, aswell as my brother.

A 6"9 WW2 veteran..

A giant of a man, dwarfed all

Wise and scary in equal measure i'm told!!

How weird is this: Yesterday I was thinking I need a bit of lay flat hose to divert a rainwater down pipe while I investigate a blockage underground. Only thinking, no searching online or anything. And today I get a mail shot in me email inbox from amazon, for lay flat hose. They musta put cookies in me head? And I gotta mail shot about funerals, ain't been thinking about that yet either.
