Nah it was at least that many that went in through the front windows, in fact truth be told the “terry wrists” got so bored waiting for all the SaSsy blokes to arrive they surrendered half way through the siege.
I wasn’t there myself but as an abseil rope salesman I can tell you I made an absolute fortune off the M.O.D that year
HA HA , What a ■■■■■ this useless wanna be ■■■■■■■■ used to work for Stobart Biomass.
He never came out with any of that crap in Lokeren as he would have been found out, as he was picking himself off the floor.
Never really had owt to do with him but he thought he was a smart cookie. Good riddance to a knobhead. Can’t wait to bump into him sometime.

So reading between the lines, I gather hes not on your Christmas card list!
I hope that his employers now check his C.V. Jewson TOOL HIRE say’s it all really.
I met a mute once on the Zeebrugge ferry who had actually been in the S.A.S. but he never talked about it.

the books wrong,it was 7347…like your man I did a H.A.L.O parachute drop onto the roof…the only that spoilt it for me was I was trialling the irish prototype parachute that only opened on impact…but I don’t like to talk about it.
He’s a hero. A radio controlled airplane crashed into our local cemetery two years ago. He was first on the scene and single handedly pulled out 350 bodies. One of the victims was 160 years old. He’s had counselling for PTSD as many of the dead were reduced to ashes.
I once worked with a bloke who reckoned he was ex French foreign legion. He was about 6 5 and built like a brick ■■■■■ house. Showed me scars of bullet wounds in his leg. I was a bit dubious until one day he never turned in. Same day three monstrous blokes turned up in suits looking for him. Turns out he had deserted.
We used to have a fitter in the garage we called him Uncle Albert as soon as he started to tell a story someone would pipe up “during the war” and walk off

I knew a guy who had a war history that sounded like Uncle Alberts.
He was French and came over with the Free French forces, He served on on ship that got torpedoed, was rescued by another ship which also got torpedoed the same day. He was due to return from leave to a ship which was in Liverpool docks but it was bombed the night before, he then served on tankers, which were always a big target for attack, finally he was given a shore job to finish the war.
He was an antiques dealer and lived in our village and nobody knew what he’d done in the war as he’d never talk about it, it was only at his funeral that his war record come out.
And I think that’s were you can tell who’s talking crap and who’s genuine, as the ones that have done it rarely talk about it or if they do they play their part down.

I must admit I have a Stobart uniform at home and often dress in it, and photograph myself, I tell everybody I’m a Stobart elite driver, and my Mrs likes me to pretend I’m Mark Dixon at weekends as a turn on for her.
Excellent!
I bet he’s not even a real lorry driver, probably one of those van drivers who stake out your house for 20 minutes before smearing mud on their faces and quietly slipping a note through the door saying “we called but you were out”.
