Just phoned my mum to ask her if it was true and apparently it is.
My dad had been home on leave for about a week and he told mum that he was going to watch Saints with his brother and he was out really early, which wasn't a surprise as he was an early riser.
Dad had told her that he'd take her out when he got back and mum made the assumption that Saints were at home. They weren't. My dad and my brother, along with friends, had caught the train to Hull and caught the milk train back from Waterloo at silly o'clock on the Sunday morning.
The "making up" resulted in me.
