When were you at RAF Binbrook?

 

What do they say about Lincolnshire folk

 

"Lincolnshire born, Lincolnshire bred,

Strong in the arm and weak in the head".

 

That's what we used to say when we were kids, and we lived there!

Of course there are other theories, well there would be wouldn't there
