Bring Back National Service

[quote="cartav"]Here's one, slightly deviating from this topic's track, but certainly NS related.............

Somewhere south of Bielefeld, east of Munster, there's a road junction, it was signed "Harsewinkel" & "Fuchtorf". Whenever there was chance to call a halt, the truck would pull in to let the new lads pose for a photograph. Anyone else do the same?

No, but I have filled my car up at the BP garage in Wankum. I have also been to Wank in Bavaria.

Dirty boy!

It would be interesting to hear how visiting dignitaries would address the citizens of Wank. It would also be interesting to find out if they are twinned with another Town.

Wankum is not far from the municipality called Titz.

There is a ski jumper called Jonathon Wank (and he was!!!!!!)

Obama's been there, lets face it, he' got relatives everywhere, " My fellow Wankers".

As for addressing the citizens "friends, countrymen and fellow wankonians welcome"

Minge Lane in Upton on Severn is one to remember, lol !

Hello All. "National Service" should never have been stopped in the first place. The last intake arrived when i was leaving (demobed). If ever it was brought back it would take a lot trouble off the streets, but can't see it ever happening though. Some countries in europe still have call up, but not us, but why. Alan B.

They probably pronounce it Menzies or something like that Woody.

Menzies is pronounced Mingas up here Teabag.

National Service. Start it up, give'em 3 weeks of pde sq bashing then the rest of 18 months in the Pioneers working their butts off.

You would need as many guards as nashies to keep them at it.

I know that we all have our own ideas on what to do with to day`s youth.but with the HR and PC brigade,they will only be ideas,well mine anyway

Can see you are keeping up! Most of them are as obselete as the enigma machine. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Scrotes should be put in military style prisons and I don't mean the modern version. Put them through what forces prisoners were put through back in the 40's, 50's and 60's and none of them would ever want to go back to that.

It's me bleedin uman rights innit?

You on about Colchester Teabag???

I did an escort there once,and i don`t want to go back

Seriously though ..We had a tech who got 56 days in Collie.When he came back to 7 Sigs he was a shadow of his former self but as fit as a fiddle.

Yeh Colchester with a big sand hill they have to run up and down all day with a large pack full of sand on their backs. Would make a good film that come to think of it!

1957. after being involved in a fight in Minden's Kingsley Barracks, I was courtmartialed and and given 112 days in Colchester, (Bielefeld had closed) The regime was painful, but at the end I had never been so fit. Plenty exercise (all day, in fact) only 2 cigarettes, one at lunch, the other at tea, and you had to deposit the dogend in a container of water, and healthy eating (well, nobody would get fat on it) no booze (though one mental guy got pissed and fighting mad by drinking brasso and water, he strained the brasso through a yellow duster!) and early nights.
