Tell Me Something I Don't Know!

[Rita_Poon]

Didn't know he was there.
I was at the Berlin Wall in the mid-1980s when it was still up, and you had to walk up a ladder and stand on a walkway to see it properly.
When it came down, Karl(ex Luftwaffe) invited me and Anne to stay with him and Gerda in Berlin, which we accepted. He sent me a small piece of the wall, so I asked if he could get a bigger piece for when we visited. Did he? When we got to his place, he disappeared, then a few moments later came back with an almost square piece of the wall, about 1' x 1'. I don't know how I got it through German customs in my luggage, trying not to walk lopsided with the weight!
As Karl was in the Battle of Britain, I donated it to the Kent Battle of Britain Museum at Hawkinge as a 'gift' from Karl, who had died several years previously.

Old swan got its name from a pub on the main road (three swans), which in turn was named after swans on the Walton family coat of arms.

Lay turf green side up, always.

Never stand up in a canoe.

Be very careful if you sneeze while wiping.

Never try and find a gas leak with a match.
