Angilaruk Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 My Mum and her sister were in FCH after coming from near Eastbourne when their mother died. They were then Margaret and Jennifer Burnand. Strange thing is that Mum now lives less than a mile from there now. Mum has very few memories of being there, although I will have to have a chat with her and see what she actually does remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyer Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 There was a lad that came into #2 in 42ish i sort of think he was bombed out, any how he wet the bed every day for the rest of the time I was in (3 more yrs) and the Bull would paste him with the copper stick every single day,knowing her I'm sure he got pasted for the rest of his stay I'm wondering if she ever cured him of wetting the bed.
