  5. Sorry, can't help you with the Norfolk question but when you say "fell out" I hope that means you finshed with her?
  6. The acts of bravey and selflessness of some of those who gave their lives I can't even begin to comprehaend. Of course we only hear about the reported ones through service citations such as the one below, so many others gave their lives and were literally never seen again. For acts of selflessness and personal bravery I have to go for Corporal Alfred G. Drake, 8th Rifle Brigade. On 23rd November 1915, 8th RB was in the line at La Brique, when Lieutenant Tryon was ordered to lead a four man reconnaissance patrol into No Mans Land between the British and German forward positions, aged 21 Corporal Drake was a member of this patrol. "For most conspicuous bravery on the night of 23rd November, 1915, near La Brique. He was one of a patrol of four which was reconnoitering towards the German lines, the patrol was discovered when close to the enemy who opened heavy fire with rifle and machine gun, wounding the officer and one man. The latter was carried back by the last remaining man. Corporal Drake remained with his officer and was last seen kneeling beside him and bandaging his wounds regardless of the enemy fire. Later a rescue party crawling near the German lines found the officer and corporal, the former unconscious but alive and bandaged. Corporal Drake beside him dead and riddled with bullets. He had given his own life and saved his officer." Reports from the battalion state that he was draped over Lt. Tryon's body as if to protect him.

  13. Well it's paid for but it's me giving her £5k essentially and she's crap with money and I've worked hard for that. I'd probably discount it massively say £3.5k but it's still me giving her £1.5k!!!!!!!!!!! Ther's no answer to that!!! You did ask though
  14. She's your wife and you can't justify giving her £5k of car, that's the accountant in you coming out? Hope she's not reding this Get the loan job done.
  15. Um Randy_Baton it'd be good to have an update from you on what the actual bill came to and if your concerns were listened to and acknowledged and a reduction in the final bill? It would stop a lot of people wondering what the outcome was! Sorry I'm never backward in coming forward! Hopeful that you may feel able to do this í ½í¸Ž Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk He did say he was collecting the car yesterday or today so we'll give him abit more time.
