Decent telly it is.

All the wee films and things too, donks.. can't begin to imagine living through it. 

I live with someone who did.

 

Yep, some really nice bits.

 

And Chris's suit is immaculate.

Mum's gone now, but Dad did - although he rarely talks about it.  At least here they weren't bombed to bits.  

 

.. and Chris is looking very dapper.

Nope but I'll overlook the London centrality. You'd think they fought them on their own.

It's always the same Donks. We don't exist up here

They're both gone now. Dad never spoke much about it. Mum was able to talk a bit more about it, probably because she never had to witness the same level of horror as dad probably did.

My Grandfather (from Dalmuir) was in the Merchant Navy and served on the North Atlantic convoys throughout the war.
