When someone tells me that they have been part of the special forces I take the view that it is highly unlikely they are as they say .
Then of course there's the arch blagger-in-chief David Davies, who would regale anyone who'd listen that he too had served in the SAS, albeit only in their reserves for a few months while he revised for his A-level retakes. Hardly the stuff of legend but hey, who knows how many people he slotted? Probably less than those who expired listening to his interminable anecdotes
