You don't get a S.W.A.L.K. with an email.

Being an old git I can remember a time before mobile phones and email. I suppose those with white knees think that they have always been around.
Old gits like me can probably remember the mail call at Swinderbutlins when the Corporal brought the mail in and the anticipation. Some will also remember the Corporal sniffing the letters to see which one had the nicest perfume.
I remember being envious of one lad in the room who got at least two letters each day. All with different perfumes.
The last thing was the initials written on the back by your girlfriend,sometimes even with the imprint of lips in red lipstick. S.W.A.L.K. was the most common with H.O.L.L.A.N.D and the reply from the bloke of N.O.R.W.I.C.H. There was also the enigmatic Y.T.T.D.S.T.T.I.A.T.C.C.S.H.
I know there were other initials some of which were personal. I suppose this is all greek to the youngsters on here but it brought back memories when I found some letters today when I was searching for some papers.
Can anyone remember the other initials used in those days.






By the way the last initials were "Yours till the desert sands turn to ice and the camels come skating home"

Mine had the standard sh1te on the back, lipstick, perfume etc. Then for some unknown reason the letters stopped, I accused her of getting bored waiting for me, she accused me of finding an excuse to get rid of her for some lovely WRAFs, an argument ensued and I binned the b1tch. Any hoo about 9 months later big envelope arrives at me first unit, packed full of opened letters wrapped in a plastic bag and stickers on it along the lines of 'Subject to Investigation'. Covering letter enclosed stated that they had formed part of the evidence of an investigation into mail theft. Seems the postie had been helping himself to the mail as he knew that mummys and daddys were sending their little darlings cash. Bit embarrassing as the letters were slightly detailed about certain acts that my good lady wanted to perform. Wished I hadn't binned her as they got better and better.

All Day I Dream About Sex. Some things haven't changed! :S

We had a slight variation on the meaning of P.O.L.O but the sentiment is the same.

That mail investigation didn't take place at Swinderbutlins in about 90/91 did it?

Isn't knickers spelt with a "K"?

I dunno, these old sweats might have been filth, but they were right illiterate feckers.

Your friendly local spelling Nazi,
