Tony B Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 My wife used to work at Rowntree's / Nestle here in York.When she went to the staff shop she often came back with things like Kit Kat packed in a different wrapper and Arabic printed. Just the run of the mill surplus from a regular order that got sold probably at a discount to anyone who was not bothered about the wrapper. i.e. The MOD The White oxidising comes from being in long term storage, like an Easter Egg over a year old. Nowt wrong with that though. As an aside to this with Rat packs I was eating Aztec bars 5 years after they stopped being sold in the shops. I used to work at Sony in Slough, opposite the MAR'S factory. We had a close relationship re swapping merchandise. Every Wednesday there was a particular smell of hot sugar. I was told by one of the Mars staff that Wednesday was MOD day. The mix had more sugar that the standard bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goanna Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) under the turret basket of the Cromwell I found a live round, 7.62mm ex finish army with wooden bullet, I assume it was a blank to be fired with a shredder fitted to the muzzle. that or they ran out of copper and hoped no one would notice the wooden bullets :-D Many years ago a friend recovered the remains of a demag 1 ton half track from NE victoria . We found a few 9mm rounds in the hull .The vehicle had been disabled by a mine blast , the shrapnel holes evident on the front section. It had been shipped out here for evaluation during the war, captured in Nth Africa Edited December 20, 2014 by goanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
