A colleague of mine at Lyneham, on March In, immediately removed the cooker and lovingly wrapped it up and stored it in the garage for the whole time he lived in the OMQ. Families Officers always seemed to home in on the cooker; certainly Mrs Drift used to spend more time cleaning the cooker than anything else.
Said colleague smugly unwrapped his cooker on the morning of the March Out ... and still got charged for unacceptable standard of cleanliness! All protests fell on deaf ears
