Preperations for Remembrance Sunday

Im thinking of sending them up to @paradox . I pretty damned sure they will outshine those!!

 

I had the same problem on tapatalk yesterday
If I send my boots over will you give them a polish?

 

Good effort but no where near up to standard

The only way to do them is to put the effort in and do it properly

Only use black polish dont use parade gloss and use pure cotton wool balls instead of polishing cloths
Any short cuts will cost you later

Is it bed packs from linen and wool sheets next?

 

A good sylvet is best, nice and used they're crap when new. Or a diamond polishing cloth also works well! As para says wet cotton buds to remove smears. Loads of layering first buffer them up with a pair of tights every couple of layers to get the best shine.

 

Cmon guys - its Beeston memorial not the Cenotaph and as I say they will be trashed as soon as tick tock charlie steps on them!

 

Is anyone apart from me NOT ex-service?

 

Always strive to achieve the unobtainable then when you fall short youve done your best

 

First parade for my boy (ATC) on Sunday. His uncle will be along to watch with beret and medals - might be a bit misty eyed.

 

Just you and me I think.

 

For those of you who havent served theres no problem with that
If you pay respect by wearing a poppy or attending a parade or even buy a waffling ex serviceman a drink in the local
Your doing your part

 

Doing my part?

 

its like a bit but more complete!

 

So not an assembly

 

Dont think so - its got more of a singular implication to it.

 

So I need to do something... with my singular part, and an old soldier. Glad that's cleared up.

 

Aye but they dont like it up em!

 

Buy and wear a poppy

50 pence
Go and watch your local parade free but priceless
Go back to the pub the old guys go to good move
Buy an old guy a drink and listen to his storys thats well worth it

 

Why only the old? Surely any serving or served have stories from far away lands where most will never go??
