The Chinese though not celebrating Christmas themselves paid us the respect of ceasing fire for the day. They left packets of tea on the front line wire with a little note that read "English soldiers, forget about the war have a nice cup of char" That day has lived long in my memory. I am so thankful to still be here in 2022 to wish all my friends on here a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. My very best wishes to everyone.

Reminds me of the Christmas truce and l have to echo what we all think mate - we're proud to have you in our midst. How many chicken legs did you get?
And furthermore - let's not also forget our boys and girls serving abroad at Christmas like Tommy - wherever they are: We're all thinking of you too at tis time - we're all proud of you and the job you do to keep us safe.

Merry Christmas to you all, families and friends and the girls who entertain us. May 2023 bring us something to cheer about.

Finally to Mad Mick Lynch & his miserly rail strikers; Hope you get the same visits as Scrooge did you misers.

So you'd happily accept a real terms pay cut, changes to working conditions and job cuts. Where's that number for WH Smith Head Office. I suppose you feel the same about nurses and Postmen too

It was a couple of dozen Lovebabes. But of course I shared them out as best I could. I was serving with a Scottish regiment, and I was the only Scouser in the company. So it was usually me who did the scrounging. The British government dumped us there and forgot about us. That's why it's known as the forgotten war.

Merry Christmas to all forum members,have a good one.

Merry Christmas to all members, hope you all enjoy it.
