Bendy-I don`t know of anyone who joins up and doesn`t expect to see active service! Although we didn`t agree with why we were going, alot of people were looking forward to going! |

Kerry - I meant in response to your question as to whether TB would send his own sons out - about Prince Andrew going to war. xx |

If memory serves me right it was USA who would not follow through in 1990. Personally I get fed up with seeing all the sailor's wives weeping and wailing - even in peace time - when their husbands set sail for a 3 month cruise. Why did they marry sailors? Before anyone starts I was a Forces wife and I was in Cyprus when EOKA was on and husband served in Borneo for 12 months 63/64. With the other wives in the regiment we accepted it and just prayed they would come home safe and sound. I do not want to see another Labour government. Ann |

Well for what it's worth -I think that Labour will win but with less seats. I know I'm living in the past and you should never discuss politics but when I think of the Tories - I see Miners strikes, massive unemployment, riots and the Falklands. I rest my case and prepare myself to be flamed! Debby |

Sorry Anne you seem to fall into what I said to Kerry earlier and she agreed that services personel and families seem to vote conservative for some reason! Think that is because consevative governments have always rewarded security personel with higher wages? Davex |

Dave - have had nothing to do with armed forces since 1966 - but I voted once for Labour and Harold Wilson lied too - he promised a wage and price freeze - he delivered 50% of his promise - he froze wages. (I was an army wife when I voted labour). Do not like Lib's policy on Europe - do not wish to be a European nor their policy on drugs - our MP is Lib Dem and he stated on radio he does not believe in prisons! My present husband has been weeping for 25 years (as a trade unionist all his life and active in the trades union) he no longer feels he has a party he can vote for. Haven't said what I have voted - you assume. Ann |

No problem Dave but in this village we have a very active Councillor who for some unknown reason has assumed for the past 20 odd years that we are Lib supporters. Little does he know nor has he ever asked us!! Tween us and the ballot box. Assumption is a dangerous thing - let us hope Labour are assuming their support. For those remembering the strikes in the early eighties I recall the late seventies and the dead unable to be buried for weeks on end, no refuse collections etc. etc (Labour was in power). Ann |
