"Aylesham sunshine corner" a small and pretty grim coal mining village in Kent - also known as the Peoples Republic of Aylesham
which has been fighting its own intifada against the 'establishment' since its birth in 1927 (when all the blacklisted miners from the General Strike ended up there). Joining the Corps gave me my sense of community and cameraderie back after Thatcher and the 'me generation' decimated this place in the '80's

I was born in St Mary's Maternity Hospital, Scotswood Road, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Northumberland which is the Geordie equivalent of the Bow Bells thing for Cockneys!
Raised in the mining town of Ashington, and shared a classroom with Bobby Charlton. (He did quite well too!
)
Joined the Corps as soon as possible, and 'did' the world.
Now retired in Dorset; God's Waiting Room.
Aye, Derek
Where you from?
