I had managed to erase most it from memory, I was there 76 not a nice place, Murphy was still there bulling his way through the day, he offered me a square go in a cuboard, I went in and the coward locked me in it and put light off, I was in there the whole day....The only good day was when they took us up on the moors hill-walking for one day.
