Ladies. Without your dedication, and commitment to your country, we would not have survived to a successful victory.

Maureen. When I was an inspector at Chatham, early eighties, I was on duty, when I took a complaint from a chap in his twenties. The complaint was a load of rubbish. He was the grandson of William Joyce, Lord Haw Haw.
