From your outburst are you feeling a bit threatened by his expected areas of digging?
We’re on the same page, I welcome his attention as the military does not need a single extra penny, it needs to cut the waste.
An air brick in a room that allows airflow, which stops mould and the expense of cleaning and repainting each year, central Messing, installation of solar, and I could go on.
You are so right about paying for those items, and they’re important, because they say a lot about the pride of the individual wearing them, but I don’t think mine was an outburst, chum, as much as yours was not a tantrum.
Absolutely zero of what he does will have an impact on me, but I agree with his type of character looking at you.
