Wandering (moving smartly and with purpose) around a town near a base full of single-engined death traps in Cambs , I was berated for not doing more to catch shoplifters. So gob-smacked was I that I couldn't even point out the old dear's error!
Why should we have these things on our uniforms? The pongos don't have their regiment name on theirs, you either have to recognise it or plead ignorance and ask, and they've got more colours of beret than Frank Spencer. Besides, they'd never get 'First Batallion the Mercian Regiment (The Staffordshire Regiment)' on a badge 15x3cm.
