“I ain’t always been in England, yer know! Me ‘n’ the Guvnor travelled, we has! ‘Specially back in the dark days when that Austrian housepainter ‘ad ideas above his station. Everybody ‘ad ‘to do their bit’ for King and Country, didn’t we? ‘Course, it was difficult for the Guvnor then, ‘im being a pacifist an’ all. But being a “thespian, darling!” we were soon engrossed with the concert parties entertaining the troops all over the place, to boost morale, whatever that meant! It was while was out there in Africa/ Burma/ Singapore, whatever; (I can’t exactly remember which nowadays), was when we first met up with that cove, Muisman. Strange geezer, he was. Reckoned on making ‘is living as a ‘writer’ when the war was over. Thought he’d use ‘is experiences for material if ‘e lived that is. Came across this the other day, reminded me abat ‘im. Nice to see that ‘e finally got ‘is wish abat bein’ a writer!
