Fancy someone from Birmingham criticising the way Scousers speak! [/quote]


How come a bloke off The Wirral leaps to the defence of Scousers ? I find myself wondering.

My mate from Birkenhead would rather have had his gonads hacked off with a rusty bayonet than be a Scouser !

Rather have my gonads hacked off with a rusty bayonet than be from Birkenhead. Scousers with their brains kicked out. Love it or hate it, Liverpool is our city. Besides it winds up the toffee nose lot from West Wirral who absolutely detest being Merseyside and insist we are still Cheshire dontcha know!

Take it easy, girls!

Airrrmmm.....Calm down...Calm down !!

Hi Paddy and welcome, not many "Proper" soldiers on here, mainly Scalies!!

Well I never joined the army to fight. Exotic hot places, skiing in the winter, big boobed women, nice sergeant majors tucking you in and bringing tea in the morning.

It was all in the recruitment advertisments. LIARS!

Well....not totally some of you got posted to "exotic hot places" (Cyprus, AF, etc), big boobed women (I never met a squaddie who hadn't hooked up with at least one buxom fraulein....even if she rented by the hour!). As for the nice Sergeant Major tucking you in....didn't at least a couple of them, somewhere, sometime, uhm....well....never mind!!

what made me laugh was the photos in the leaflets showing a CSM/RSM greeting you with hand shake when you arrived for basic. How we were conned

you mean a cookhouse was not a hot exotic place, well i nevvar. ginger

Talking of exotic places, I originally applied to join the Royal Navy, when I went to the Recruiting Office the first question I was asked was, "Can you swim?", I replied, "Why, haven't you got any ******* Boats". They pointed me in the direction of the Army Recruiting Office.

LOL a good oldie

Thanks for that, Shelldrake. I used to be the proud owner of a No. 18 set. Cost me about fifteen bob in 1952. I also had the hand-held set, but can't recall the number, now. Might have been 38 set.

Did it have English and Russian labels? ours did in 1959!
