Day Two at Stalag Harrogate: Breakfast consisted of a spoonful of beans , one sausage ( half size, undetermined flavour) and some yellow slops the guard said was scrambled egg. Then had enforced exercise , one hour in learning how many ways you can look stupid trying to balance on an oversized space hopper, then an hour of shaking a stick in different positions (?) ...dont ask me why! Then Doctor Mengaler decided it was time to bend my elbow in the opposite direction to which it was designed to go for an hour. Lunch....well, they called it lunch. I ordered a burger so I expected a round brown thing in a bun. The Chef here is obviously a Veggie is it turned out to be compressed spicey carrot and tomato in a burger shape . It was like eating over peppered string. No pudding as only fruit on menu with yoghurt. I made the mistake of asking a guard if they had heard of sponge pudding and custard but was immediately led outside, chained to a gun carriage and given 20 lashes. An hour of stretching bits that havent been stretched in 10 years was followed by Aqua class , or, doing stupid stuff that you should never attempt to do in water, done in water! Tea....now that was a pool of sick that the ober lieutenant said was vegetable moussaka, so no meat , just bad looking cucumbers and more carrot. Managed to get one of the Polish prisoners ( from Durham) to swop me a slice of five day old Victoria sponge which I soaked in water to make it edible. Now locked in my room so pressing on with the tunnel using a sharpened toilet brush.must crack on before lights out.
