I think there is one security company now making using ex gurkhas as a specific selling point. .there were certainly a few extremely polite and tough looking chaps who could have been Ex-Gurkha at the Track World Cup in Feb at Olympic Velodrome place
Dunno if it’s the same lot, but there’s a portacabin in Farnborough football club car park occupied by a Gurkha security firm.
Pete – We used to employ Gurkha security at the quarry. (I sold one of them a bike for £20 to get to work on, Mrs PPs old Diamond Back) and one of them could regularly be seen sitting outside at night on the sand stockpile, with a little meths stove cooking his dinner! 🙂
I regret to say that the very balanced views shown in the above posts are sadly lacking in some of the people I work with, many of whom live in the town. There was a threat of a march last year to protest about the number of Nepalis in Aldershot
This really saddens me. Hopefully they are in the minority. Certainly nobody I know had any objection to them that I know of, including a few Army/ex-Army types.
