During the war

[CanucksTraveller]

I'm young enough, but having done a full 22 at Her Majesty's pleasure already I'm not subject to reserve service or call up. I gather that in my situation one may still volunteer if the balloon goes up, but I'm really not sure I have anything to offer, and I wouldn't want to go back anyway.

 

[pawl]

Only if I can have a wheelchair with an anti tank weapon mounted on the front and a Blue Badge so I can park while firing at the enemy Also a pocket for my British Cycling membership card and my over seventy five lunch club vouchers.

 

[wheresthetorch]

I think I'd volunteer as a forces chaplain.

 

[Andy in Germany]

That would depend which of the countries I'm a citizen of went went all right wing and nationalistic.

 

[HMS_Dave]

As long as I can man the flak cannons or those huge search lights then I'm in...

 

[BoldonLad]

That would depend which of the countries I'm a citizen of went went all right wing and nationalistic.

With all of those passports, you would be either:

a) Shot
b) Interned
c) trained as a spy

 

[Cycleops]

Recent events show just how badly managed this country is when it comes to dealing with a crisis.

For a never seen before pandemic perhaps but Britain was remarkably well prepared all things considered in the years leading up to 1939 despite the Labour government believing a peace could be agreed.

Drago.......a thought for you.
If everyone was what you call a conchie there would not be any wars.
Well that my opinion anyway

Thats very true. If the nazzies had been conchies we'd have had nothing to argue about.

 

[Dave7]

Good plan. And if the germans didn't follow suit, we'd end up with a decent railway system.

I did say everyone.

 

[BoldonLad]

Thats very true. If the nazzies had been conchies we'd have had nothing to argue about.

Judging by some of the other threads on here, I am sure we could have found something

 

[Oldhippy]

Can I man the refugee centres.

 

[flake99please]

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. I would do it all again on the condition I was with the same guys previously (539 ASRM).

 

[Drago]

I hear that the Nazzies really were peace loving, but that all changed after a Bundesbike Minister for Cycling visited the NACA forum...

 

[Paulus]

I'm far too old, but I'll make the tea.

 

[HMS_Dave]

I'm far too old, but I'll make the tea.

Oh you're just bitter because you're the first German Field Marshal ever to surrender while commanding German forces at the battle of stalingrad...
