Don't knock 'em Bob. We lived down a long country lane and the distinctive sound of the Bantam gave me early warning that MIMCo was sending me a telegram to recall me early from my leave. Nobody else ever sent us telegrams. The warning gave me time to make sure that another member of the family met the delivery boy and told him that they could not accept delivery because I was hiking somewhere in the Lake District, on holiday in France or whatever, and would not be back home until the date that my leave was due to end. That way I got my full leave. All Praise the Bantam!
