Has anyone been hoodwinked lately? Have you ever heard of such a phrase? For years I've heard people's stories about x, y and z and never really known what to believe. I don't feel that there's any point in trying to fool anyone or tell lies as it bites you in the bum in the end, and besides my memory is so shit these days I'd never know what I'd said. hen I joined the RAF in 2000 one of the first things we were taught were honesty and getting it right first time. Hard work is the only way to success and it needs a firm base to cement itself on. The same goes for anything you do.
