We listened for eight hours every day.

Nearly traves mad.

Quite a few people broke down.

There was a joke about one of the men.

He drew ducks on the blackboard and was feeding them.

He had to be carried off.

It really got into, you know.

You had to put your hand up if you wanted to go to the loo, or if you wanted something to eat. We used to do running hand when it came in the language as well. I could barely speak French, so I was trying to write it down. But we didn't have much of that. I met my husband up in the Isle of Man

I went to a dance one evening

we had the Paul Jones as it was called

the men went round in the outside circle

the women went round in the inside circle

and you danced with the person who's in front of you

it was the way of getting people to get mixed up

and I met this nice army

the lieutenant standing in front of me.

We danced and then for some reason he managed to get me again.

He did it on the purpose, he said that whole of the evening.

From then on, he kept coming asking me to dance and we started going out.

We had to sneakily do it because I was in uniform.

And as an officer, he wasn't allowed to go out

with a private anyway so I had to borrow some clothes. Poses of a villain. We were married three months later
