Captain VG has decided that today's Fantasy will take place in Bletchley Park, where code-breaking was carried out during World War 2
Please don 1940's style clothing, grab your gas-masks and ration books and PAY ATTENTION!
We have recieved intelligence that an attack may be made on us by the Freedom Fighters of Little Trumpington, and in order to save the nation we have to decode the message containing their battle plans.
Here it is:

Cap'n VG thinks it's a rhyme, but as she is busy defusing a bomb, she can't put her fins to it right now. Clues will follow shortly - you have to sweat a bit first!

Reporting for duty secret agent VG here and ready. I have spent the night with my hair in curlers to achieve the right hairstyle , I have the bright red lipstick and my OH gravy browned my legs and drew a seam with a felt tip pen before he went to work.... As soon as I find an American GI I will be donning stockings.

Oh and I can't take the credit for today's thread Moffy designed the code and came up with the picture and the starting post so please take the credit you deserve Moffy
Who gave me the gas mask they used to fumigate yesterday's flea circus..... Stares at Sandra and moffy....
Hmmm this secret bunker is very official and safe but a little lacking in home comforts... Drags out special top secret briefcase and pulls out... Art Deco mirror ( for reapplying lipstick)
Torpedo vase with flowers and a bakelite radio. Ahhh that's better, now off to defuse the bomb ... Will be back shortly.... Are my seams still on or they have smudged???
Ssshh - don't tell anyone! I am here too. Ready for a bit of code breaking, spying, or spreading propoganda!
I could invade enemy territory, dressed as a cabaret artiste, and that would definitely de-moralise the foreign troops!
The GI's will give you chocolate, Kaz - but I think there's a price to pay!
Agent VG is going to black-market all those stockings the GI's give her - I've put our names down for a few pairs at 'mate's rates'
Am busy making 'Woolton Pie' in the camp kitchen. OMG how did people manage in those days? For the youngsters among us (anyone under 55!) that was left over veg and potatoes with pastry on the top. Bleurrrgggh!
Waltzes in... Hey did you know a camp of Americans has been set up just over the fields casually throws down chocolate and stockings.... Don,t ask...... I did it for the good of the country we need chocolate and to look our best if we are to crack this code....
Gets out from under the desk ,,,,,been looking for the code I didn't realise it was at the top of the thread, I just that was you Moffy mumbling through a mouthful of crackers, perfectly understandable we are code crackers after all.... Good job the code wasn't written on crackers of KazF would have eaten them and the code by now
cracked the code - now what? - Didn't Ronnie Carroll sing that?
Haven't got any gravy browning, so used fake tan and an eyebrow pencil - line is as straight as a dogs back leg, so please hurry up and get yourself that G.I VG, then we can all wear stockings. Hate sussies so I will get busy and make us all some garters
Fake tan? You've been cadging off the cast of TOWIE haven't you? Bet you've been getting chocolate off them as well! S'not fair - we're all surviving on rations!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers Ronnie Carrol!
Stares at M you have an eyebrow pencil.... I think I have. Mouldy bits of make up in a cupboard somewhere,,,, actually some of it probably dates back to the war
I don't know about code crakers - I thought we were just plain crackers - lol!
Curses! VG has discovered the code under my pile of spare chocolate! I haven't got any gravy browning so I soaked my legs in cold tea, but it was difficult to get them in the tea-pot.
Who mentioned crackers? I'm starving and Leroy has eaten all the rations.
Do you think we could bring in the cast of TOWIE? Then we could have essentials like fake tan and food, and blingy stuff and more fake tan, and hair dye, and lip fillers and lots of mascara and booze and more food!
Leroy has found KazF's suspenders - he has proposed to them - well, they're the only long thin female thing around here, so what do you expect?
I go the fake tan from this 'Mark' guy who was hating me up in the bar - along with any other female who would take him on, so now I know why it is so sparkly. Chocolate? You mean he might have chocolate too. OK will go back and subject my self to his smarmy chat up lines and see if I can get us some
Oh darn, yes I recall Ronnie Caroll and lots of things from 'long ago' just don't ask what I had for breakfast this morning. Actually did I actually have breakfast this morning? Can't remember
Mark was CHATTING me up, not hating me up - oh dear. I might be able to crack codes,but can't type very well
While M is still trying to recall if she ate or not I will just borrow her ration book and go get some bully beef for lunch.... Have I got the code upside down????? Oh and Leroy has been to the toilet,,, DON GASMASKS....
Waaaaahhh! didn't eat, and have no food in the cupboard, someone has stolen my ration book. I know I need to lose a few pounds VG, but this is cruelty.
Would invite myself round to VG for lunch, but it probably stinks there now Leroy has 'been'. Funny my gas mask is missing too - looks very suspiciously at VG
Sorry M times are tough make do and mend... I made your gas mask smaller for Leroy
Hands over a small tin of bully beef
Ha I have cracked the code it says....

No that still doesn't look right..... I blame this old rusty typewriter
Want some black market stockings too -least you can do. Last I heard was that Leroy had scoffed my gas mask 'cos he was hungry. I'll pop round later (when you have fumigated) to grab my ration book back and my grabby reachy stick - social services wont give me a new one.
Anyone else 'lost' anything recently? If so I will search VG's place whilst I am there to recover your lost belongings.
Sighs and opens her secret spy briefcase and gets out a spare gas mask some stockings Ms ration book... with most of the coupons missing and the bent reachy grabby thing... Though I did clean it so it didn't make my briefcase smell
A supply plane carrying several tons of Brussels sprouts has been delayed by high winds.
This means we may stand down gas masks until further notice - unless Leroy 'goes' again.
Oh oh I have just picked up a warning on the good old trusty bakelite radio ..it seems some people in Little Trumpington are on the move, get cracking everyone .......
What happens if there is an air raid.... Do we stay down here or leg it to the pub???? If its the pub I do have an air raid siren in my super spy briefcase
I don't live far from Bletchley park so I'll pop the kettle on. I needed a break from work so I had a look but surely the last word on the second line should read cmvf rather than dmvf
Excellent code considering it's valentines on Thursday
Oh wow you lot are so good I cannot find my code book, I found the american base though it was spam for lunch (I hate spam) chocolate well no Hershie bars xgins
yeah plenty of room and I'm sure we can rustle up some virtual bread and butter pudding Be quick though as I'm off to college in a bit. Got to get my reflexologist qualification as soon as possible
just been out to the airfield to meet a plane bringing sugar - only to find "Sugar" is a beautiful jazz singer! we've got competition girls - lippy on!
Just got back from VG's. You wouldn't believe what she has hidden there. I found 6 ration books, enough food to feed Leroy for 2 years. 27 tins of Bully beef and hundred of pairs of nylons. Not to mention endless boxes of chocolates, and she is blaming the medication for lack of weight loss this week. I pinched VG's ration book and bought some rice & milk, Anyone for rice pudding?
Never mind, I have a cunning plan - go and offer all those moving trees a nice mug of cocoa - little do they know that I've laced it with senokot granules!
"Our clever code-breakers have broken the code, so now the rest of you can have a clue:
It is a rhyme, and it's associated with St. Valentine's Day!"
C'mon, troops - you can do it if you try!
I have cracked it ... It says .... We all love Ladymoth.... No it says we love a moth eaten lady... No it says .......ah I have it.... Congratulations on a wonderful thread Ladymoth..... But hang on what as that got to do with valentines day .... Ah I have my code book upside down .... Goes back to code cracking......
