It gets better - the original uke head broke & my Grandad got a pig bladder from the butcher & sent it to Tunisia in a Tam O'Shanter tobacco tin & Dad stretched it & fitted it as a replacement. It survived the War, Italy occupation & it still works - faded writing, visible blood vessels and all.
My father issued himself a driving licence while he was in the Royal Engineers. He added in permission to drive “a track laying vehicle steered through its tracks” so he could have a go on the battalion bulldozer. That extra qualification stayed on his licence for fifty years.
