What would your WW2 job have been?

Land girl - wtf?  I like the last bit though

As a woman, you weren't allowed to fight, but that didn't mean you couldn't serve. As a Land Girl, you would be a member of the Women's Land Army, stepping in to replace the men throughout British agriculture. You would have tilled the soil, planted crops, and brought in the harvest. With the nation under blockade and rationing only going so far, you kept Britain safe.

I think we're sisters trilby

About a zillion questions to get to codebreaker. We'd have been a bit short of actual soldiers if this forum is any guide, though I suppose there was not much choice when you got your call-up papers.

I would have stayed at home and looked after the

Ladies ffs

I wouldn't have lasted long as a spy. English is the only language I speak.

Code Breaker.

"Would you be prepared to die for your country?"  FOYDSC

I'd be working alongside G Hall.

I'll just leave the country and live at a safer place. Leave the war to the patriotic types.

me too

Soldier apparently.

Dan Snow said he lies to his daughters about there being female pilots in the RAF during the Battle of Britain.  What an insult to the women who were producing food and munitions, without which we couldn't fight.  And don't forget the women at Bletchley Park.  There's more to a war than just the front-line.

Myopic and a computer programmer.......safely ensconsed in Bletchley Park hopefully.

Land girl

WW2 was different to now , it would have been glorious to serve England
in the Battle of Britain beneath a cloudless sky .
Now seems different , there is no heroic death now

CODEBREAKER

With your mind for mathematics and your ability to keep secrets, you would be best deployed in the homeland at Bletchley Park, codebreaking with Alan Turing and his team as they worked tirelessly to decrypt the German Enigma code. Without the efforts of these brave and intelligent men and women, the German plans would not have been known, and misinformation could not have been fed to them. These heroes went unsung for decades, but they saved countless lives and shortened the war by years.

Kenny - what did you have for tea last night?

Funnily enough I delivered mail to Bletchley Park while I was working in Milton Keynes in '97, for Abbey N.

Alan Turing loved a delivered male.

Ho Mac, is that 6:51pm pic of yours yesterday actually a selfie of you camouflaged up?  Suits you sir

It's as if they didn't like our answers, so thought they'd get rid

Said I should be a soldier and showed a picture of GI with two M1s. (That was the type of both his helmet AND carbine, showing I know far too much about WW2 :))

Which is fine. I'm over here, overpaid, and getting a leg over with your wife. Damned limeys!!!
