Many moons ago, one of my Sqn secondary duties was as flt cdr and OIC of a barrack block at a well known Buckinghamshire Technical Training School. The lads did their best to keep the block up to standard but one of the issues was stones being pinged through the windows by the mowers. Like a good junior officer, I naively asked the powers that be to repair the damage only to be told that until there were enough broken windows to make it worth their while, a glazier could not be retained to effect the repairs. I did ask if I should get the lads to break a few more windows but the idea was not well received. That was in the good old days. My son has since passed through the system and my daughter is still in quarters with her husband. I understand things have not improved, to put it mildly.
