Hi Stewart,
Thanks for the offer, I would like to take you up on it if that was possible.
I will send you a private message with my telephone details.
The only real Fairbairn book I have is 'Get Tough' published in 1942.
Yep, my neck now measures 19 and 1/2 inches. Mind you I have only got a very small cauliflower to my left ear, I don't know how I got away without getting more.
Thanking you in anticipation.
