the story i DID like was that his mother was found in a drawer in an air raid shelter in liverpool after an air raid. she was a very newborn baby. it explains a lot about him.

yeah, he had a lot of stories. unlike my grandad (i never met him) who won a fistful of medals but stuffed them in the loft along with the accordion that he carried all over europe throughout the whole 6 years of the war and would never ever talk about it, according to my dad.
