General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I have a very good friend who worked in the pit in barnsley Greyhound, and he did what you did, he said it was the only way he could have 3 square meals a day a guaranteed wage and a chance to see the world at the countries expense he did 9 years met his wife there and only came out on medical grounds. He still attends all the get togethers that the York and Lancs have especially a regimental dinner every St Georges day which I have attended as a guest, the atmosphere at one of these does is electric so much camaraderie it makes me wish that I had been one of them ,so don't you think that the young of today could benefit just as well.
