Mine didn’t either, I had to research it myself.

Similar, not similar….because my old man was a volunteer from 1936, when he came home they wouldn’t let him out despite 5 years of deprivation in a POW camp. So he had to pretend to be mental and drove them mad until they slung him out….give him something like a fiver and demob suit and told him to f**k off ! Lol A little factoid is that because they were POW’s they wasn’t entitled to any medals, but years ago apparently they worked out they were entitled to some and some nice old duffer from the British Legion (I think ?) came round and said to my old man “You are entitled to medal

He would have been around 19 in that picture mate, and likewise he hated waste. He was one of the blokes who did the Long March and was in a camp for 5 years…..they was eating cats and leftover pig swill on that long March so it’s understandable.
-
Fair play, can’t even fathom what sights that man witnessed mate.
-
Good post mate, I agree.
-
My old man’s regiment got sent to Burma, but he had already been captured in Belgium with the BEF before that…..not so much a lucky escape as just a different type of shit. Anyway, my old man and his pal before they got sent to France and me and my pals on VJ Day 50th anniversary in London

It’s a hard one mate, one of the kindest, warm, genuine blokes I knew was a catholic priest and he was my pal…..he knew the score, was realistic. But the flip side is places like the mother and baby homes like near where I live where they are digging up hundreds of discarded infants……that’s pure f***ing wickedness carried out under the cloak of an all powerful church and can’t be excused. My pal used to say to me “Not seen you at church” and I’d say “No, because most of your Christian’s ain’t very Christian” and he would just smile we’d move on.

It makes perfect sense when you understand there’s a war being carried out against white people !
-
Totally agree !…….”ignorance and cruelty given a free pass”…..spot on old grumpy chops, spot on
-
Is it a bit warm old chap?…..you used to have a much better sense of humour ! lol I was almost tempted to write “joke” underneath my posts but I thought you’d suss that out…..my fault old chap, I should have been clear about it. Please don’t report me for hate speech Citizen Smith ! lol (also a joke…..better safe than sorry ! lol )

It’s not for nothing that Blair did away with the treason law
-
Just waiting for a bricky to tell me the block work is not in bond ! lol I knew it already but the job just didn’t require doing more cuts than I had to.
-
Just finished fixing the floor down to the block foundation. Simple trimmed down roof strap job, rawl bolts and screws. Perps are empty on purpose, it’s like it all the way round. Going to fill them with a bit of wire mesh to allow airflow under the floor.

Jukel wouldn’t use him, he is one of the “super rich” lol

I have upto fairly recently been chatting on and off with a Reform bird that was just on Jim Davidsons podcast…..she gos by the name of Sophie Preston Hall. I actually asked her the question about how can they be any different or any kind of change if they are just filling their ranks with all the same people that have betrayed the nation. To be fair, she is a very polite bird to chat to and always strives to give a proper answer but she genuinely couldn’t, all she could offer was: ”I totally understand, I can’t logically disagree but it’s just time to pick a side” I’ll le

My point was, I wonder how many 20 something year old lads will be there because they feel obligated and connected to what those blokes fought for ?
-
Me and all my pals were at the 50th anniversary when they had the big do in London for it……I have to wonder if it will even be a thing in 20 more years for the 100th ?
-
Surprise surprise huh ?! lol

The wrap for the walls exterior
-
Just out setting out the walls ready for framing and sheathing this weekend, nothing complicated as it’s just a box. I wonder does anyone else still use 3,4,5 for double checking square ?……I suppose it’s all lasers now days ? Shows the last time I was ever involved with construction ! lol
-
Fair
-
I’ve just heard that cheeky c**t the King on the telly talking about VJ Day and the lads who fought there……traitorous f***ing prick !
-
Agreed…..I’m not suggesting people don’t vote reform, it’s just a conversation. I think it’s only right now that we do have a much harder look at everyone and understand exactly what they are…..and I think people are paying more attention and that’s a good thing. The lesson for all of us, imho, is that we should never again be “comfortable” with any of them…..and if we understand the scale of the problem we also understand if all these people are talking out of their arse. Blair took the country away and people hardly noticed….we should make sure we take notice of everyone now.
-
I agree that it’s important people are shown the two party system can be broken…..but I think it’s equally important that we don’t fall into a mindset of “job done” because it won’t be job done. We just need to understand that, and this is just my humble opinion, that a vote for Reform is just symbolic…..it carries no more weight than that in terms of the effect it will have on the state the nation is in. I was back in London last weekend and nothing less than mass deportation of the 3rd world, born there or not, has to be part of a million things that need doing to fix the place.

I think the point that is being made mate is, as far as our lives are concerned, what would it have mattered if Labour had won ? If they are not fundamentally different then it doesn’t matter at all.
