MY dad was returning home from milford by train he had just settled up after lots of trips on the Milford Duke (late 40s) he had money falling out of his pockets and returning home to Hull, there was a young R.N lad on the train. who was trying to dodge his fare but he got caught, Dad paid his fare and bought him a drink and a meal, as they were pulling into paragon station the lad asked my Dad if he could beg five bob off him to pay for the ferry to new Holland,no problem, the lad asked Dad what pub he used Dad told him he used one down Posterngate. Two days later Dad found himself in that pub and the landlady gave my Dad the money owed, Dad had just missed the lad dropping it off, Dad never saw him again.
