It Never Rains...

At the police station, Grandad tells his grandsons why he's been arrested: it was way back in 1936, and the Trotter Family were very poor, so Grandad and his friend Nobby Clarke hitchiked all the way to Southampton, got a boat to Tangier, and after a failed attempt to join the French Foreign Legion, became gun-runners during the Spanish Civil War until they were captured, and Nobby was tortured, before the pair got home to Peckham.
