Sean thinks it would be a great idea to sign up for something different. He really wants to go travelling the world.

Mr Hanna rings in "if you joined the Navy then who would have single-handedly built Birmingham, it would be just a green field now".

A conversation strikes up about the Basildon Bond air mail paper. The census among the listeners believes it was very classy and expensive with matching envelopes.

"But why was it blue?" asks Sean.

Davey in Bangor texts "I may be proven wrong on this, but the reason the paper was blue because it was a specially designed lightweight paper for transporting in the aircraft. If it had extra weight then it would cost more in air mileage".

Music by Dave Edmunds, Steve Gibbons Band, Boney M, Marty Robbins, and more.
