One of the best - if not the best - books I’ve read on the Normandy landings and first few days!

I don’t believe that we can truly comprehend the horrors - sheer bloodshed, injuries and deaths - seen and borne by the soldiers. <rose>

I’ll have to get a copy of that. My dad was took a landing craft in the first wave onto Gold beach.
 
He was a hero as every single one of those Allied Servicemen were <applause><applause><applause>

My late father in law served in North Africa throughout the war - he never spoke about it....
My father never really spoke about in my younger years, but later he would say a few bits and pieces and that was it. He loved going to Normandy in the June to meet up with new and old friends. I had the house to myself for the whole month. :)
 
Long story, just 2 hours ago placed order for delivery tomorrow with Iceland.

Rejected my M&S MasterCard, then my wife’s, then my Natwest MasterCard, then my wife’s. In desperation / ‘bewilderment’ used my Natwest Debit Card - same result <yikes>

Then the trolley emptied, and the Delivery slot vanished ....

Looked at my Banking App - the £83.99 was charged to my Debit Card....... and guess what, having finally spoken to M&S (took 58 mins to get through) and then NatWest, there are charges of £83.99 on each and every credit card.

Spoke to the local Iceland - there’s no delivery down for us tomorrow ...

They said ring customer services. Rang it - not taking calls.......

So we’ve seemingly been charged £419.95 for nothing ...... <grr>
