Double Glazing and Monty's Beret


A very pleasant gentleman came round this morning, from KBs in Colchester, to make some minor repairs to the secondary double glazing on one of the windows at the front of the house.

He noticed a letter heading on the table under the window - "Friends of the Tank Museum",  and apologising for appearing to be nosy, he told me that the Jim Fraser mentioned in the link below was his grandfather. 



I was suitably impressed and full of admiration for a man who has such a contribution to his gene pool. Read the links to find out why, perhaps, you should be too?
