GRUMBLE
AWAY
It's Good for You
MAN: I know was having ; a good grumble the other day.
There was a third person pre- Isent, and he made this remark Įto me:
"To listen to George grumbling you'd think he'd got all the troubles of the world on his head.
Shut up, George. You're not in the Army yel."
That remark gave me the idea for this article.
Because George was perfectly right to have his grumble.
And the man who made the re- mark was WRONG in telling him to shut up!.
For instance, a good case for grumbling is made out by Dr. David Robertson, consulting psycho-thern- pist to the Northern Command.
He say, in the annual report of the Bootham Park Hospital, York, that far fewer soldiers have suffered from nervous breakdowns than elvi- Hans since the war began.
And he explains it by the fael that the soldier lets off steam much more casly than the civilian.
I can partly confirm that from my own experience in the last war,
