35 Years Ago..

..today I joined the Women's Royal Naval Service.

I boarded a train from Staffordshire to Reading, where we were all collected by coach and taken to Burghfield Common to do our basic training. Everybody that boarded the coach avoided sitting next to me, probably because I was wearing a Motorhead tshirt and I think that they were afraid!
One young girl called Angela decided that I looked a bit different and sat next to me. We became friends that day and thirty five years on, she is still the best friend anyone could have.

She hates my kind of music and I hate hers but that doesn't matter when you're 'besties' :-))
