Thread Name: BS: The Siege of Sydney Street
Subject: RE: BS: The Siege of Sydney Street
This reminds me of a story, When I was about 8 years old my grandfather, my brother and I were sitting having lunch one day, When the conversation turned to Winston Churchill, whenever my father talked about him he referred to him as that bas....so in my innocence, I repeated the phrase, not knowing that my Grandad thought he was the best thing since sliced bread. My Grandfather looked like Alf Garnett and was about as reactionary.anyway he picked me up by the scruff of the neck ,and hauled me outside, and said dont ever use bad language, and dont ever talk about that great man like that. Needless to say I was confused, but im not now .
