Transcription
We went wild! I was booked to go over any minute when bingo, it was all over. So as I said before, we just grabbed a train up to London and it’s only half an hours run or something like that, Bramshott from London, and they were pulling, opening up the windows and everything was in darkness at night, you know. You couldn’t show a light and free beer, free everything. Oh, that was good and I can remember the King and Queen those days paraded down the street. I was out on the pavement and I guess I had too much to drink. I remember some of the boys took a hold of me to kind of quiet me down. I’ll always remember that. It was shameful.
