  I would just like to thank the members of both the D,H.B. and the Dover Forum that came up to me at a D,H,B, event I went to last week,this was the first event I have been to for some years and it was nice to talk to members that I have not seen for some years.Mr Cooper and his family are doing very well in Scotland and have done alot of work to a very big 16 room house that has not been lived in for some 9years,they have open a shop and a B&B so get yourself up there it is a long way to go by road taking some 15hours but you can fly and Andy will pick you up from the airport and it is about 40miles from the airport to where they are They live at GOLSPIE once you have been there you will never want to come back .
  We are going up again in few weeks time. You can log into Golspie and go into Ferry RD it is no 10 but they are going to call it INVICTOR HOUSE. right by the sea. Thank you if you read this post.

  Hi Vic, good to hear from you. We had thought of dropping in to see you as we hadn't heard for a while, but glad to know you are OK. You'll be pleased to know the fish are still fine. They have bred like rabbits and we now have over 40 of them, in a much bigger tank of course!

  Good for you Vic. With some of the scrapes you have been in I reckon your life would make a good comedy show.

  Cannot wait till tonight.OK this is just a small part of what you will read about.(Carrying on from where I left off on post 187)
  Well sir it was raining very hard and I was walking around the MT yard and trying all the doors to the trucks to see if they were locked as I was told to do.
  And I came to one and the door was open ,so to get out of the rain for a short time I got in,but sorry to say I went to sleep and did not wake up for about 3hours,it was still raining I jumped out of the truck and run back to here to report.
  The duty officer turn to the cpl of the Guard and said "Lock him up Cpl he will face the CO later in the morning the charge will be falling a sleep while on Guard duty.""Matcham as you well know this is a very serious charge you have found your self on."

  Well at 0900hrs I was marched between two Regimental policeman and the cpl of the guard over to the CO office,standing out was the R.S,M "Pte Matcham"! he shouted"Take your hat and belt off"
  He then open the door of the CO office and I was frog marched into the office and sitting behind a table was the CO and two other officers .
  Then the R.S,M, read out the charge"Pte Matcham while out on patrol got into a truck and went to sleep. sir."How do you plead Matcham"said the CO.
  "Guilty or not Guilty?"
  
  "I am Guity sir"
  "Right Matcham because this a very serious charge you can go for a Court Martial or take the punishment I give you."
  "I will take the punishment you give me sir I have no wish to go in front of a Court Martial."
  "Right march him out keep him under guard outside while we look at his records and talk about what punishment he will get."
  So that is what happen .
