HiI should have said Maurice Campbell joined with me in Edinburgh in 1960

Mike I just wanted to say thanks for a terrific time at Taunton. It was my first contact with any of you for 50 years and I didnâ??t know what to expect but while the years may have altered us all a little the bond was there as tight as ever. Thanks to everybody for making my wife Sue our daughter and myself so welcome they were spellbound by it all. Bob Mike Jock General an absolute pleasure to see you all again and revive those memories did I hear somebody say it only seems like yesterday? Chalky!! Unbelievable like finding a long lost brother get the beers on ice mate we are coming to Barnsley. Thanks once again to everybody for making it a memorable time and especially to you and your wife for organising it Mike. One last thing to Keith Harding with whom I grew up as a kid Kip Mike tells me you are not feeling too good I am sorry to hear that I was looking forward to seeing you so take care of yourself and I will hopefully see you soon.

Hi All Having digested the post about the Queen s Diamond Medal.Very interesting.In one paragraph it states that a small charge be made for the medal then a couple of paragraphs later it states that the medal is free.Wish they would make their mind up.Also what is disturbing is the fact that they cannot issue previous medals in retrospect.Why in hell should we have to wait for any medals.If you earned them issue them.Again we are the bottom of the list for these trinkets.The Police Ambulance and Fire Service (no disrespect to them were issued way before the Armed Forces received theirs.One was even on ebay 5 days after it was issued for ???£100.Not really very much pride in the medal from that particular recipient and only a limited amount issued to HM Forces whereas the Civil Services all received them.Not really fair is it?They really think a lot about our Armed Forces.I think they would be glad to get rid of the Forces altogether and save a fortune for the other needy countries who require aid from us!!!If we do receive the medal the parrot will look very nice in his bright new medal.Must train him to do drill and not nick my whisky.The bugger.Well OK chaps rant over back to bed again.Cheers. Jock.
