Disaster of Friday afternoon.

Hi to all,

Friday was my afternoon to do some bill paying and bank visiting ending in the pub for a couple pints, on Saturday morning I made the discovery of having lost my bank books somewhere along my travels.
They I have since replaced with the old one's cancelled but in one of the books I kept my old Dad's freedom papers freedom of the city of London, and they are un-replace-able and not a lot of use to anybody who may have them.
Dad did five months bomb disposal work in London, not that he ever told me about that but after his death in 1972 I found among his papers dairies recording that time and bomb fuse sketches with typed up defusing information.
So I am thinking the freedom might have had something to do with that part of his army service, the only mention he ever made to me was when I was about ten years old when I had asked him if he had ever been abroad.
Yes he said travelled to the south coast had a lovely sail and got dropped off on a nice beach, but then some bugger started shooting at us and they never stopped until we got to Berlin, so I never went back.
(Sorry Dad).

Annoyed.

Hi Jim,

I just feel so stupid and careless but I have been to the police and they have the details but I don't hold out much hope, a lot of dishonest people out there.
How is your Bedford gearbox and clutch changeover coming along, ready for the road yet?

Hi Jim,

Please send it back if it is not of any use to you it is one I picked up at a rally a year ago as a stand by for my own old Bedford, take it easy with the work on the Bedford.

Lost freedom papers.

Hi to all,

Because we have had visitors over the weekend I took them to the pub on Sunday, not one of my drinking days normally and just by chance because it was a different bar-maid I asked if anything like bank-books or papers had been handed in, she came back with the bank-books and the freedom papers.
Having asked two others the day after I lost them I was gob-smacked, they had been put into the safe and been there all week.

Lost freedom papers.

Hi to all,

I am delighted the bank-books were already replaced but there was no way I could have replaced my old Dad's papers.
