There"s nothing wrong with pongos !! I spent a very happy Christmas 1968 in a place called Loyang,near RAF Changi ,in Singapore,in a RN married-quarter bungalow( complete with Armah !) along with an Able Seaman , an RAF corporal, and a Pongo called Stan,from Bristol,who was an accomplished classical Guitarist !! Most convivial !! And ,when I was on the Naval Air Command Boat Section up Haslar Creek,in Gosport,there were some splendid army lads there from the Port Service Regiment at St.Georges Barracks !! Every day that they were at sea in their LSTs,they got a tot of rum,while the Navy"s tot had been discontinued-----Oh ! How those boys loved to rub it in !!!
