    I like it Howard. Picking a group, I expect we'll get an imbalance on one of the staircases, this being Dover. I'll let you decide which one.

    I was chatting to a gentleman who interviewed a soldier from the Irish Guards who was stationed at the Grand Shaft barracks the other day . He told me that in 1940 the Grand Shaft was out-of-bounds to the rank and file and was reserved for officers only. Enlisted men had to march all the way up Military Hill. One poor private got a right dressing down as he hid in the Shaft during an air-raid as it was for 'officers use only'!

    Happy days.
