Glad_rag.....What a great reason, 'the accommodation is ****e because the APC before us trashed it so lets trash it some more for the guys following us.' Says it all really.
I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
JJ, if the accommodation had been 5* at the start, and any trashing afforded the five times fine it might still be good. Trash breeds trash I guess.

I was once told the transit blocks (100/101/90 etc) had originally been in Aden, then taken to Sharjah and then Akro. Not sure where the limitless supply of ironing boards and fire extinguisher cartridges came from though.....

Actually I was talking about the Sgt's Mess Annex but those blocks are a disgrace.

Having spent three years in the upper block that Dougie illustrated, they were superb 45 yrs ago 
, far better than the large, room Secos from the 60s near the No 1 Mess. The APC block was least desirable as it was furthest from the Mess and closest to the main drag.
