IN the early fifties with the connection of old Comrades meetings I was offered a private HIT job for five thousand pounds, a job on a railway hoist by ex-military, this was done by amateur crooks in 1963,and a host of jobs that I turned down,, because I found gambling could do the same without any risk, the war was over, and without the Army to cover tracks ?
It was three miles Exactly from rear Hampton Court Palace to Kingston Bridge, three miles there three miles back, a fearsome discipline event, I drove my legs harder against the pain, made the bridge, sucking in oxygen to heaving lungs, and still hit the time as in Army days, this five years after I Left the army, I was in Kingston to attend Hurst Park Races, just along the river, a beautiful spot. But there was a lot more I could add to this story.
