another old timer yarn!

this is about a chap called Bill Alexander from Bungay Suffolk, who i met in the army 1949,at malver Worcteshire. he was loud mouthed,without being a bore,he could do most things,and proved it,what he didnt know was not worth bothering about if he had been in the Charge of the light brigad the General would have said
Alexander is going to Chrage the Russian guns and when he is done we will finish the job
he was a practical joker,and get away with most things except once it was after lights out every on asleep,when he came in the baracks and woke a chap up ,a yorky from thorne YORKY,YORKY the yorky awoke muttering wots up? Alexander said do you want to buy a Battleship,at that Yorky said FFF off and went back to sleep Now the days went by weeks went by until one week end after a 48 hour pass every body arriving back late then Yorky arrived back after midnight and he looked for and found Alexander asleep then he sais Bill,Bill wake up,Alexander woke up muttering wots up and Yorky said ,that Battleship how mush do you want for it
then on another occasion we went out for a night to town and Alexander was with us, it was late no buses back to camp,walking thro this village,Alexander said hang on im going to nick that car,and sure enough he got the car,and shoved it down the drive,we did not start it up, we pushed it a couple of miles away so we did not make a noise he was the only one who could drive,Right he said lets get it going, But no body could get it going No Battery, Half the engine missing God knows ,what the bloke must have said when he found his car had been Nicked
