I hadn't realised that, that is apalling, he was still supporting his country by being in the fire service. Graded rations? I'm truly shocked.:eek:0 -

I made nettle soup back in the early eighties. The kids in the street thought I was a witch. :rotfl: It would have been better if I owned a liquidiser....:o0 -
