Our basic training NCO, Tom Lavelle, would yell things like "You're marching like a fairy with a c--- full of crumbs!"
Very subtle.

I met Windsor Davies when he was doing the working mens club curcuit up North with Don Estelle. "sing lofty, sing", and indeed he did. had a chat over a pint after the show, very nice man, and yes he was a NS soldier. cant remember the regiment, have a feeling he said Welsh Guards

Subject: Re: Memory lane 11/5/2011, 14:36

I think Windsor Davies served as an RAEC Sergeant for his National Service. It was this that gave him the opportunity to observe the mannerisms of Sergeant Majors

Guest

He trained as a teacher before his NS,so it`s more than likely he served in the RAEC

I recall that the Char Wallah is sitting on the verandah singing "Land of Hope and Glory", to be rewarded with "SHATAAAAAP !"

We don't seem to get that daft British comedy anymore, do we ?
