Liverpool,i will always have a soft spot ,for Liverpool

and here is why,its abit of a softee
but true,
i joined up in 1949 made good friends with a scouser
in 1953 in Korea, ihad a good friend from Bootle
one day he said,yorky,they say im not a good enough chipee
im going to the front,poor lad got Killed
another scouse,was the driver of the heavy trucks we drove
when we done our days work
we got the last Jag,ie Guard ,
this night on patrol,he said suddenly look otu yorky,as put a round up the spout
i ducked, then slowly floating by were 2 glow worms
he did not take out the round
next day,at about 9 pm,
he saw his rifle cocked,he forgot pulled the trigger,and shot his left foot to pieces
but ,the funniest of all was ,the pal i made in training
we went to hong together
out in the new territories
we bot had a bren gun carrier
our unit were builing a jeep track
over looking china
very high very steep,very narrow
we were a 3rd of the way up this track,
and mine stalled,so to start it he gave me a tow
now to ster a carrier,you brake one side to turn the other
.to tow it with a chain you put the chaine even on both sides you get a staight pull
but what does this Pelock do
put the chain on one side an starts to pull me
well,one minute in looking down a slop on th right,the next the left,
Laurel and hardy,
must have ben saying why didnt we do that
,suddenly he stopped towing me
he was crumpled up laughing
in the 1960,s when i worked at hansons
i did liverpoll twice a day
made some good frinds there
