[QUOTE="JWL, post: 9212300, member: 47116"] I did my middle year student bit at Upton many years ago and ended up years later working there. Some of the best times I had as student was working with the old shepherd Bill Jones, he was the closest person I ever came across who could have been Ronnie Barker. He resembled him and his humour was definitely along the same lines. His stories would keep you entertained for hours, he had been in the Home Guard back in WWII, being local from the Dassets he knew everyone in the area. One of my favourites was him telling about being around the camp on October 23rd on patrol, he swore that he heard horses and men moving about and a couple of Home Guard who were on duty who were more townie were petrified after claiming that they saw Royalists looking bloodied and dishevelled moving around in the mist. I might have spent an hour or so on the night having a look but anything I might have observed may have been disturbed by the hour or so I had spent waiting in the Tower :whistle: [/QUOTE]
