Just fancied a bit of relaxation. Put on Antiques Roadshow, up pops RMW, there's no escape!

I think this might end up being a very underappreciated post.

Hey ho, I expect the whole thread will be gone by tomorrow. It's going to be a chilly Bank Holiday Monday and those complaints don't make themselves.

In the interests of wildlife conservation, I am trying to re introduce the lesser spotted wazzock back into the English language.

They did make the point that the weapon had been, erm, deactivated.

🤣 nice one!

The whole way he imparted the information about his relative screamed male.

He has indeed popped in occasionally to scold us. However, I believe he's not been seen in these parts since he - IIRC - came to berate us for bundle-related criticism regarding a case he was involved in.

Anyone got a link to the thread?

And I guess priests were probably exempt from the official secrets act rules via confession!

My granny was, and we only found out at her funeral from her brother.

I can't remember if it was here, or somewhere else I posted it, but more or less snap. We only found out when the priest spoke about it; they'd been friends for about 40 years.

Odd moment, wasn't it. I remember sitting in the front row of the church at the funeral, and our heads all snapped up from a bowed position at once. It was almost funny.

I do love the word "wazzock". It's so...fitting.

I thought it was him. I was in the kitchen, dp said 'isn't that a man', I stuck my head round, and said 'oh, it's RMW! The one I kept mentioning from the court cases'.

'Ah, that wazzock' was the response. He does listen sometimes.

It was interesting though.

I still find it impressive that so many people stayed quiet about the work they were doing/did at Bletchley.

Naomi Cunningham's mother was at Bletchley Park wasn't she. I remember NC said she wished she was able to talk to her about it.

My granny was, and we only found out at her funeral from her brother. even her son, my dad, didn't know. They took the official secrets act very seriously.

Which is a shame as I would have found her a lot more interesting.

Sadly, the tale of the gallant Sgt. White was lost amongst the WTFs from the VE day visitors who had settled down to watch it here.

They were even more WTF that I was able to give them chapter and verse on the gravel voiced one, and why.

It was illuminating for the rest of my family, whilst DH had a break from watching the snooker. We’d not planned to watch that programme.

Wrong war, but I was reminded of the lyrics to the song “Do your ears hang low?”. Some of those war songs and campfire songs are gooduns.

That's Mark Smith He often chokes up when he's talking about the bravery of an individual behind a group of medals. Lovely man.

That’s the one. Very engaging, he was definitely getting teary about the young glider pilot.

And I always enjoy the military and medals guy, he always comes across as thoughtful and slightly in awe of what these people went through.
