"Hello Everyone, My claim to fame or infamy?? was taking the notorious Kray Twins to the Webb Boys club in the east end of London and me being the one that was expelled!!! We then signed on for National Service together putting down for the Army Catering Corps and then I was the only one of the three of us to be accepted. Would my life have been different otherwise? I doubt it. "
