[moonraker558]

I take it you are not missing it then?

[waterboatman]

[moonraker558]

I know what you mean m8. We are all looking at the scrapheap I recon.

[waterboatman]

The missus took me to the knacker's yard, but they said she would have to pay them! charming!!

[moonraker558]

She could have tried having you recycled I suppose.

[waterboatman]

That's a possibility, haven't got a bike though!

Morning wbm and moonraker,, remember going to Salisibury plain to see Stonehenge over 40 years ago,, I think its all fenced off now,, thought we had seen the back of the wet stuff but back with a vengance yesterday afternoon xx

[waterboatman]

Morning bet. When I was stationed at Larkhill, we took a case of beer over to Stonehenge for the dawn at midsummer, to watch the Druids doing there stuff. Very interesting. It is all fenced off now and I think you have to pay to go in.

good morning/afternoon! glad to hear the wind has dropped! have a goodun

[waterboatman]

Morning lumin. Don't you worry about us, you just go on enjoying the tropical climate. :-}
At this time of year I often wish I was back in Malaysia!

[365058bet]

Well I am surprised that you have to pay to see Stonehenge!! Is anything free anymore.. I lost the internet for a while ....hence the delay xx

[waterboatman]

Welcome back bet. Disgraceful isn't it.

We used to go over there quite a lot. It's only about ½ to ¾ of a mile from our barracks. A pleasant walk and a peaceful place.

[365058bet]

We travelled there from the Black country on a triumph 650,, to see my boyfriends uncle who was stationed at Bulford camp,, i think that was the name anyway.. many many many years ago xx.. When were you there ???

[waterboatman]

Bulford Camp is correct bet. It was (and probably still is) either armour or infantry based there, can't remember which. I was at Larkhill. We were Depot Regiment for the School of Artillery from 1964 to 1966 when we went to Malaysia.

[365058bet]

Small world wbm,, we used to visit between 1962 and 1963,, then I met a man in RAF uniform and the rest is history.. bang went the motorbilke though cause Mr B was a 4 wheel man... those were the days xx

[waterboatman]

I remember them well bet. I had a motorbike in a previous life, but prefer 4 wheels, much better in bad weather! '63 I was based in London, couldn't stand it, so got myself posted to Larkhill. Quite enjoyed it there.

[365058bet]
