[BITList] joyless

[FS]

colin,
Yes Gosport was a mess, from a school boys point of view though it was 
quite good as each time my school was levelled it took a while before 
the teachers found us and sent us on to the next one only to repeat the 
performance when that school was also leveled remember having a whole 
summer off before being spotted by a couple of teacher when I was 
returning from a fishing expedition down by  the Haslar Hospital which 
of course was off limits but small boys can find a way around anything 
not that much was accomplished at school as most of us would be asleep 
having been awake most of the night due to the bombing, I joined either 
Nowshera or Wodara in Middlesbrough that was where Smiths docks where if 
I remember, we spent some time in the dry dock there on Nowshera having 
our bow repaired after hitting the locks leaving Sibera docks in Antwerp 
then as we were leaving the dry dock managed to damage the bow again so 
it was back onto the stocks and start again. Come to think of it poor 
old Nowshera seemed to have a fated life
