hey jolly jack, you re not from Gus by any chance?

Don't live in Guz now but used to, also Pompey, but finised my time off in Guz then moved. I could see the Dock Yard from my bedroom window. TOO Close! But I really like Guz just too far from everything else.

Hi also to Mikey Y, yes mate I bet you don't miss QM's duties. Is there much work in Spain for WC's?
I'm only out a couple of years but found it difficult to settle and hated the rat race. People take themselves too seriously and get upset over nothing. I'm only starting out in WC'n but it pays better than my trade (Spark) and I love the freedom of work fitting around my life instead of the other way around. Don't want to go on too much in case I get kicked off for making this site sound like Friends Reunited!
Take care Willy

Hi SW, oh yes the Keyham, start off in there after scran. But I'm not going down the strip as I'm duty tomorrow, Where have you heard that before? Then its a taxi, stop at the cash point followed by the Twigs, Jesters and Blondes,wake up beside some "Queen" in the morning not knowing what part of town your in, hoping against all odds you weren't able to perform and that no one you know saw you leaving with her,saying never again! I bet you have a few old T-shirts with that on it!
And what about the Avondale? Its got topless barmaids now! 9 Pinters! I seen it on the TV not so long ago.
Ahaa the memories are flooding back.

If you mean Harry the old bloke who owned it I think it said he died last year, as far as going up market, well you obviously didn't see the barmaids! I didn't realise women could get brewers drop! When they were reaching the pints over the bar it looked like a puppy having a drink!
Now the CAR-OU-SEL theres a night spot no one should miss the experience of. That used to be part of your "ones" task book. It wasn't as much "Grab a Granny" as the granny's grabing the young lads. They were the type of women even your Dad warned you about. Oh yes many a Sunday morning I walked back to Drake wondering if it had really happened. Mind you them having teeth they could take out had its up side! I'll leave you with that thought, bet you can't get that image out of your head all day!

One thing I always wondered was why they spelt Welsh like someone whose semi illiterate?  There's got to be a reason for it?  Was it something to do with the Regimental Sheep or something?

Founded in 1689, they are one of the oldest regiments in the regular army, hence the archaic spelling of the word Welch instead of Welsh.
