im afraid im too old to take the queens shilling
(that means go into the forces doesnt it?)

I heared that the recruiters used to put a shilling in a pint of beer and give it to the locals, if the locals took the pint then they had accepted payment to enter the armed forces (the Royal Navy)

Im 26 so the RAF say im too old, the army say i can fly helicopters and i was medically discharged from the navy so ill have to think of something else

thanks anyway
