Can't be our lot.......... There aren't enough spokes on the wheel of that cannon & that's a funny cap badge for Gunners............ Can't add much about punishment, but when one of our lot had three days' CB for a fairly minor indiscretion, he shared reporting at the Main Gate with his twin brother, who, to some extent had a bit to do with the original problem. Both used one set of immaculate kit and both got stuck in to the preparation............ It's very quiet out there......... Has everyone been washed away in the floods ? Hullo Charlie Charlie I spell Bravo Alpha Oscar Romeo. Signals over..... | |

I think the worst punishment that I ever suffered was when I was sentenced to 28 days detention. During that period it was compulsory to eat in the Cookhouse. Has it not been always compulsory to eat in the cookhouse ? IMHO cookhouse grub was pretty good. Just before I came out into 'civvie street' I was an RP at the main Hohne guard room. Apart from marching the lads for their meals, we also used to sneak them into our Squadron bar for a couple of pints before locking them up for the night after their evening showers. Of course, we had to check who the duty officer was beforehand to make sure we wouldn't get caught. | |

[/quote We supplemented our rations by eating in the NAAFI, which would have been quite expensive had not my mate and I a little "Scam" going. Two ladies worked behind the hotplate in the NAAFI, one German and one English, neither spoke the others language. The English woman took the orders and the German lady cooked them, when you ordered, the English woman gave you a raffle ticket and the stub was given to the German lady. When your meal was ready the number was called, the German woman asked the English woman (in German) if you had paid, the English lady nodded her head and we were all happy. One night there was a new English lady who, unbeknownst spoke a little German and you can guess the rest. | |

[/quote] On the subject of cookhouses and the grub therein. One night we went into a Jock camp in either Lemgo or Hameln to fill our water trailer. We went in to the NAAFI, which we thought seemed remarkably crowded, for a few goodies. We hadn't been in the queue long when up comes Rab C Nesbitt, (without the dressing on his head) and said what sounded like "Yer no' thinkin' o' using the cookhoose are ye ?" On being asked why he replied "'cos we're on hunger strike !" As we left the camp we looked in and there was all the food laid out on the hotplates, with the staff standing behind them and not a soul to eat it. I must say, we never got THAT bad. | |

Liz Fraser was the ' nom de plume' of Bill Fraser, when he dressed up in womens clothing. | |

I saw Bill Fraser in a pub near Barnet one lunchtime many years ago. I think he must have lived round there. He was pissed out of his skull. |

| I remember reading about Charles Hawtrey spending his days in his Local somewhere in Kent, I suppose that when the work dries up some actors find that they don't have a role in life. Sad. | |

| Enough of the Chinese Whispers ! I'm going back to punishment ...........Preamble follows :-
On occasion, when the bty. was out on exercise, those on high decided it would be fun to field raiding parties in the small hours to spread alarm & despondency at the separate BHQ Tp., George Tp. and How Tp. locations. Accordingly, both defenders & raiders had thunderflashes and .303 blanks issued. I was one of the party of five sent out to wake up How Tp. who were bedded down about 1 km. away.
Suffice it to say that having launched our thunderflashes, Taffy & I got parted from the other three and subseqently we were captured. How Tp commander deemed that punishment would be meted out after he had completed basic interrogation. That number, rank and name bollocks was a joke, all he wanted was which tp. we came from and argued that any one of his lads would know that, but he didn't want to drag them out from kip....... we gave in. The reason for his interest became clear.
We were bundled in his Champ, he ordered his driver to make a left turn instead taking the right fork on the track leading to BHQ. After about five minutes he dumped us, told which direction we should take, reckoned we were about half an hour's walk away, smirked & drove off.
Taffy wasn't one for exercise, but he was more cheerful than I would have thought possible. " We've got the last laugh ! " he sniggered< "I nicked these ........". He had lifted How tp's sigs info, with the exercise codes & frequencies, from the pocket on the back of the Champ front seat, the radio bit which joined up power supply unit & Wireless Set 19 ( 18 point connector ? Somebody will remember better than me ) and, best of all, a couple of bottles of Pils. Somehow the walk back wasn't as irritating as it might have been. . | |

| Subject: Punishment! 21/7/2012, 19:21 | |
| I don't know about actual (deterrent type) punishment, but the following may cause some merriment. I was LAD REME ATT. to 66 COY.RASC,(1957-9) and one day was asked to change a wheel bearing on the VW "Beetle" used by the RASC. OC. I had never worked on one before, and on removing the wheel drum, came across a locking washer. Never having seen one before, the insignificant looking locking tab didn't seem very important, so when it snapped off I didn't worry unduly and changed the bearing and re-assembled the wheel drum. The officer's batman came for the car and drove away. Later in the day I was summond to my REME CO's office and reprimanded. Apparently the front wheel had come off! My CO didn't get on very well with the RASC officer concerned, so awarded me an extra "Duty Crew" as a punishment. This only entailed locking up the W/Shop at duty's end and re-opening next morning. I think the "punishment" was more to do with failing to cause his death than anything alse. (Had anything serious happened as a result, it would probably have meant a court martial I suppose.) | |
