GrandparentsMy awesome grandad flew in Wellingtons in the war. Damn, those shortages were terrible. Tell us about brilliant-stroke-rubbish grandparents.

Another mention of the war...The school where my Dad taught had an exchange programme with a German school. During their visit to our shores, the class teacher stayed with my parents. One day during the week my Grandad popped in and was introduced to said teacher. "Where are you from?" he asked, all polite, like. "Hamburg" came her reply. He paused for a second, computed this information and uttered the immortal line "Oh, I flew over there in the war" as if he'd been on lovely sight-seeing tour and not dropping massive bombs out of a Lancaster.
