colly0410 1,183 Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Today I voted in honour of my Dad & all my Uncles (except one who was still at school) who served in the Army or RAF in WW2. One Uncle was shot & wounded & another made a Japanese POW. My Mam & some of her Sisters worked in a munitions factory & two Aunties served in the WRAF. Thanks for fighting for my right to vote. Love, respect & honour to you all. xxxx 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stan 386 Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 I went to a talk by Sir Jackie Stewart this year (he is also a sufferer and very rich) and I was astounded by his list ) which included many famous men and women,(even Albert E.) (sorry cannot smell Einstein) so it is more common than you think. (thank goodness for Smellcheck) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
