Perfect for your missus' birthday! Do it!

Six is always bigging it up about becoming a moderator, but when the opportunity arises he runs the other way! Maybe he's seen how low the bar's been set, but it's still beyond his reach?

I had one for work, but hated it! I guess that I've just got used to Android phones, as I've used them for years as my personal phones.

Exactly, although my preference would be to not buy any Apple shit in the first place!

Can you not get a lightening to 3.5mm adaptor and then buy some ear buds? Anyway, my phone may be a shit Chinese thing, but it's still got a 3.5mm jack socket!

Getting your bikini line done?

We also visited the cemetery where my great uncle is buried, who was killed during the retreat to Dunkirk. I was also shocked by the number of graves inscribed "Here lies a soldier, known only to god"! I would guess that 30% of the graves there (British and French) were inscribed with that! Very sobering!

Definitely. They fought against fascism and here it is again! Not just the UK, it's widespread and very worrying!

I had 2 uncles that were in the Royal Navy during WW2, they never really spoke about their experiences. I also met a number of older chaps who had served in various services during WW2 when I was doing my apprenticeship. Very few of them spoke about their experiences. There was a chap in one of the electrical wiring departments who was rumoured to have been in the Long Range Desert Group, but he never spoke about the war. He was a very quiet fellah, very softly spoken and not very tall, but there was something about him that no one ever tried to push him. His foreman was a right arse to everyone else, but tip toed around the old chap! So maybe there was something to the rumours.

I think so, Pete, but I don't think that they go out of their way to draw attention to themselves!

We stopped off there a couple of years back @MooN. We spent a couple of days there and didn't really scratch the surface of what's to see there. We stayed in an hotel right on Sword beach in Luc-sur-mer for a few nights. Apparently the hotel was the local Nazi headquarters during WW2. Recommend visiting Arromanches-les-Bains, where there's still remains of the floating docks that the Allies constructed in the days following D-Day. Very interesting.
