Well, well, well, what a blast from the past. Where the hell did you get to Chris. I heard a rumour that you went to England but nobody I know has seen or heard from you. Unfortunately I don't get on to this web site too often as you have probably gathered but great to hear you are alive and well. You can contact me on [email protected] if you get to see this message.

Lotty was the german woman, I remember her well. also remember the cheers in the canteen when someone dropped their dinner but the thingthat really sticks in my mind was the lunch packs, baked bean, hundreds and thousands sandwiches.
