    Yes, New yeras EVE 1952/53
    now i have posted this Yarn before
    But this time when i say Nudge Nudge wink wink
    you should Know what i mean
    Ok lets Go
    i was driving a leyland Hippo ten tonner
    remeber i am 5 foot 2 tall
    my job was to take timber 12 x 12 to make bunkers
    Now when i went on the road i was supposed to have
    a shot gun Guard,for obvious War area reasons Nudge nudge
    but becuase it never happened i never had a shot gun(guard)
    Until i went to the City of Seoul
    miles away from any trouble
    i always got 4 shot guns
    because we stayed over night (nudge nudge wink)
    was available,i took afvantage once only
    i made the trip many times
    now we were given K rations
    that is a Box of food
    and let me tell they were better than the food we had every day
    But in Seoul we had our Data Base
    they had a commandered a Hotel
    Yes a real Hotel
    now normaaly e stayed on e night
    in this Hotel, and gave them our Krations for a good meal
    there was just one night i did not sleep in the hotel
    but took to the streets
    with a little chico(BOY)who took us to a you know what (nudge nudge) nothing more than a pig sty
    i did not bother any more after that
    But when i had to take a load on New Years eve
    the poers that be
    forgot that the Koreans enjoyed an holiday too
    and instead of over night it tokk 4 days
    Now , i had parked my truck in the streets i put it in reverse(BIG Mistake)
    it was 30 degrees below Zero
    now on the first night the lads went off for (nudge,Nudge)
    i stayed in the Hotel
    then the second night
    but on the 3 night New years eve the lads were skint had enough
    and the lads in the Hotel turned us out
    Yes turened us out No mercy
    and there we were wandering round seoul
    skint cold humgry
    we found a Us army unit
    they took pity on us 4 and gave us thier left overs
    and let us sleep in their mess room on the wooden forms
    Now,you would think that would be a happy ending
    BUT no
    next Morning i went to my truck
    the Gear Box was frozen solid
    we had to find a recovery vehicle
    and he towed us
    now being in reverse gear
    he had to tow us in revers can you imagine
    me at 5 2 trying to look Back on an icy raod and with my foot on the clutch and the others lads trying to knosk the gear lever into neautral
    we did it succsess fully
    and were we glad to get back to the noise of rattle crash Crunch

    Hope you read it
    Happy new year
