Bill,
It's a fair cop
but what has poor old Beag's done in here that deserves your rebuke
With regards your recommendations there is a typo I believe...
"A. Flying, low ethos and a dubious uniform" should surely have read "Flying low, ethos and a dubious uniform"
We'll give you the uniform bit.
For the sake of keeping up tradition you can keep the "anal retention initiation ceremony" you allude to and we will continue to dress poorly........hows that for a compromise
all spelling mistakes are "df" alcohol induced
