OK
from a wheen of years ago
We were travelling from oop North down to Sailsbury plain
As part of a TA regiment
So our designated route took us down the M1 and anticlockwise on the M25 and off on the M4
Our intrepid Battery Captain left first with his packet
Me next with my packet and Capt A 15 min later
I fell alseep and missed the M25, & the driver kept on driving
& So I had the pleasure of negotiating the North Circular of a Friday afternoon
Capt A went clockwise via the Dartford tunnel, well it was a more senic route
Both more than a little apprehensive at arriving at our destination hours late , but as it appened within a few minutes of other
Asked for the BK =Batt Capt
Hes not here yet, we were told
When he turned up he was spitting blood about the road works on the M25.
Roadworks? we said in Unison.
oops

like the guy who spent the day at his mistress's flat, instead of working in the twin towers

His wife rings him after the planes hit , frantic : ' Where are you ?? '


ehh ? at work !!
