By The Way;
There's an excellent interview with Lt/C Johnson Beharry in the 'Yorkshire Post'[/i] this morning
(not available on the 'YP' website yet)

It is now


I know the fact that senior officers have to salute him really means that they are honouring the VC as much as him, but I'd love to see someone the 'Top Brass' standing to attention & saluting him as he enters a room.

As 'wing nut' stated earlier regarding the addition of the programme onto 'You Tube', I watched the last part.

In it (at about 8:10 minutes) Clarkson mentions the fact that we 'seem to have lost the plot', as David Beckham is often called a hero.

Is it just him & me who see something wrong there??



* well some people & the media do




Digression
The end of Doctor Who on Saturday was very touching (& I don't mind admitting made my eyes prickle) when the young lad (Latimer) is seen in the trenches of WW1.
 
The next scene sees him as an old man at a Remembrance Day service & he sees Martha & the Doctor standing at the other side of the village green.
 
What a poignant moment :cry:

"...and in the morning... we will remember them"

That and last post always give me goosebumps. Know some guys over the years who paid the price and after umpteen years of attending... it's kinda ingrained. Something few people these days seem to understand.  :(

Bush Tucker Man:
Just bought the Johnson Beharry book this afternoon.

On a very brief reading, it looks interesting
