If you would like to check just one part of your statement, I think you
will find that 'Wireman' went out with the formation of the Electrical
Branch in 1947, eleven years before I went into the Royal Navy for my
National Service.

Kindest regards

A near neighbour to me is a roofer. From time to time he has a bonfire
which issues heavy black smoke, so I assume he is burning old roofing
materials. I spoke to the council, they said keep a diary then take
him to court, produce the diary as evidence. I stupidly thought the
council would deal with this as it will surely come under pollution.


More a responsibility of The Environment Agency as polution is involved,
not the council I would have thought.

I am indeed Mike, what ever made you ask?

Because he has a weird thing about ex-service people. He likes to
attach himself to them and bathe in reflected glory. Take any claims
about his own 'service' with a large dose of salt - he was a wireman
on an RN shore establishment during national service.
You will have heard the expression 'a walt'? That's him.
