Used to scream along that!

Not having a go at you , young fella, you have to understand it goes against the grain to hear these stories, makes you wonder why we bothered trying to be fair dinkum with security.

Sign them up for the Independent Company in the next stoush. I know what you mean, If you don't keep fit , motivated young men busy, especially the highly trained fellas today, you are asking for trouble. Doesn't make it right, though, of course. Bob
