Being with Lifelong Friends
from More Than a Lumpy Jumper · host Bridge Forster and Bobby Davis
As it's Armed Forces Week we have an excuse to have a chat with a couple of female veterans who just happen to be our lovely friends - the amazing Lt Col Wendy Faux MBE and the equally wonderful Lt Col (retd) Sally Purnell. Despite having given you all an episode on Not Saying Sorry, Bobby and Bridge do think they need to offer an apology as there are probably a whole load of acronyms that are going to pop up during this episode which will make you think WTF (look there’s another one!). They really tried to pull together a Glossary but…it didn’t happen. If it really makes little sense, get in touch. Otherwise, sit back and listen to the regaling of tales from a bunch of ladies, who go back a long way and have MUCH to say about their time serving in the Army and all that happened after. While we have your attention we'd really appreciate if you could vote for MTALJ in the British Podcast Awards https://www.britishpodcastawards.com/voting Links British Army ranks explained The 2004 Tsunami Ruth Bader Ginsburg Ruth Bader Ginsburg in her own words Tina Turner - Simply the Best Dame Julie Walters Dame Julie Walters in action The Rani of Jhansi, a symbol of resistance to British Rule in India – Legacies of Slavery in Glasgow Museums and Collections Begum Hazrat Mahal: The Revolutionary Queen of Awadh Mary Seacole To War with Whitaker( Wartime Diaries of the Countess of Ranfurly: Amazon.co.uk The Countess of Ranfurly Not just a wife! - Wendy Faux Wendy Faux photography
