Book excerpt: A true story of life in Greater Manchester through the sixties and seventies that pushed a boy to become a man in the Royal Navy. Armed Forces experiences that catapulted his development and forged bonds with comrades who became friends for life and the lessons learned that he took with him into civilian life.The story is told in a humorous and gritty style, describing events and incidents, fast paced and straight from the heart. Mostly funny, there is a sober and occasional sad side to the events, which match the ups and downs of life.Maurice describes himself as a Scallywag who became an Executive. Never slow in expressing himself, he paints a picture of life that is not always visible to everyone.
