Seriously though:
You want to try climbing the Eastney Clock Tower at 0600hrs in the morning to put the flag up. The ghosts stare out of every doorway and every wall! I never saw anything odd but by heck you could feel the past all around you.
Going into the Owd taylors shop in the tower was very wierd. The odd uniform still there waiting for a long left Bootneck to come and pay for his jacket alterations. The Rolls of Medal Ribbon still on the table. As I said a very Weird experience indeed. I felt that at any time the taylors would come bustling though the door and take up from where they had left off all those years ago.

Did you see the Black cat and the tailor? They said it you saw them both together it was a Gurt big good sign.....!!
Twas...... coz in those days it meant the Taylor had just opened up shop and his cat was getting its daily scran......See in those days the Taylor was still in situe!!.
I bought a cap badge (Globe and Buster) that had originally been made for the Dook of Edinburgh.....Trouble was that it had a faulty....No India on the globe.... still got it today somewhere
