I don’t mean this to sound glib, but times change for better or for worse and we can accept it and have a laugh in the mess with all and sundry or dig our heels in and slowly become angry, bitter and highly toxic. Either way, it’s happening, and I like beer 😀


Times do change slowly, I remember reading orders that an airman could be put on a 'Punishment diet of one pound of bread & unlimited water for three days in a row & that was in the late seventies.


At about the same time there was a notice about guarding explosives & it said that 'If the airman is illiterate' the instructions must be carefully explained to him'.


This was late seventies & I'm not making this **** up, it's true!
