well, was the company that I had.
Having been at school in London,
I only knew people from London area really
and then you're mixing that sort of
where you do your square-bashing,
you're mixing with guys from Scotland, Wales, Ireland,
all different, north, you know, all their different accents,
and you form a sort of a like a unit, yourself.
In the billets doing your square-bashing
and then you're training another group you meet up with.
And I found it was a wonderful experience,
looking back on it.
At the time,
don't know whether I appreciated it at the time.
But, and then, of course, you get sent abroad
and you mix up with all these other guys
from different walks of life.
It's...
Something I think should still be continued.
I'd think I'd grown up but the time I didn't realize it,
but I've found I could mix with people much easier
from more, from different walks of life.
Even some criminals,
one or two work in the services with me.
But they changed.
