No you didn't.

The original M1911 was withdrawn after a couple of years and they were all
sold on.

The weapon in service for many years was the M1911A1, and what's more
anyone who ever owned one was fully aware of that because it's horribly
important if you need nany bits...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
