In 1972, muesli was just getting popular for brekky. We suggested to the Catering Officer that the boring old corn flakes, rice bubbles and weetbix should have muesli added to the choice.
"Too expensive" was the reply.
"But we want it. And there are now 21 extra live-in junior officers in the mess, (just starting pilots' course) so we outnumber the more senior people living in. "
Pause. Thinks.
"OK, I will buy some, but if you eat it, I won't get any more!"
Stifled mirth amongst the boggies.
