General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Isn't it strange how digression can revive old memories.I remember that song from the war,about 1944,when as we all know,there was shortages of things like chocolate.It happened like this,there was a moral boosting concert at the Co-op Hall in Chorley and that was one of they songs that they played and the children were given pieces of chocolate.I recall my turn,when I walked up to the stage there were Ohs and Ahs because I was wearing calipers on both legs.
As for Afghanistan,my understanding of it is that it is not a nation as such,just a geoghraphical location inhabited by a large number of warring tribes,offering loyalty to the highest bidder.
