Shiney Two Jag

Further to my old pals post, this same old pal pointed me in the direction of a website all about the squadron I was in during the seventies.

The site is called ShineytwoJag, and even for a non-forces type, is still a good read and a valuable insight into what we got up to in those days. Click the link if you want to.

Well the Christmas lights have been switched on in town, ( a few coloured flashing lightbulbs compared to the Regent street lights in London.) Thursday late night shopping has started, the brass band is playing on the street corner, the burger and hot-dog man is selling hot chestnuts alongside his usual ware, the big issue sellers are out in force.( we've got one that sings, and up until recently had one that said "Hello, how are you," in a jolly voice, to everyone, instead of the usual "Big Isshooo." ) The shops all nicely decorated up.

Yes, it's looking very festive.

Only 4 weeks this Saturday.

Grand!
