While me and Tankman were picking up an old WW2 field telephone for Middleton Stoney (more on the phone later;)) we decided to visit our sister post as it was just down the road from were we where picking up the phone.
Turned out to be a right polava:mad:
It was freezing cold and the wind was hidious but we ploughed on, the post was very overgrown around the hatch and would only open about halfway before a branch stopped it, so acsess could not be gained at this point, then on our way back to the car a lady in the house oppsite came over and demanded to know what we were doing, we explained what we were doing and that we were restoring it's sister post, she paid no attention and gave us a lecture about it being private property then stormed off, total bitch:mad:
