Just a funny story to tell you of the trip.
Driving down to Torquay I decided to nip in to CTC cash
clothing to buy a Green Beret and staybright cap badge ready
for the RBL parade on the sunday.
In I go to cash clothing to be met by either a PO or Chief Wren.
'What do you want ' says Jenny, 'Id like to buy a green beret and
badge ' say I.
'Are you still serving or RMA' she drolls.
'No finnished now,but need the lid for a parade on sunday with RBL'.
'Have you got ID and a cheque book' barks my newfound naval friend.
'No', I say' i'll pay cash'.
'Havn't taken cash for more than ten years ' my now standing,arms on
counter shopkeeper tells me.
Just then a fellow sitting at the back of the store stands up and says
in a lilting welsh accent 'Hello Ron boyo havn't seen you for years'.
What you up to'.It was Taff Lloyd who was a lance corporal on my training
team 29yrs ago.'What you after ? a beret ? What size are you as he
tosses a few for me to try.
'This ones ok how much I owe you Taff', 'Nothing he says, you can have that'.'As one of my boys'.
Nice one Taff, as I remind him of our 30yr reunion next year.
Exit one Red Faced Jenny.
Hope its not one of our users wives,lol.
