A few years ago a kebab wagon used to park close to the NAAFI shop at Wyton, within easy reach of the married patch and the singlies accom.
The one day it disappeared to outside the base. That meant a considerable trek for those farthest away on the patch. On asking the question why?, the owner said that the NAAFI club complained [as is their wont] that they had the monopoly on base and the bratty wagon couldn't ply their wares - there was a good enough menu avaiable in their restaurant.
At happy hour I complained to the Staish [the firey one who was later tragically killed in a Canberra crash on base]. He got a menu from the bratty wagon, called the NAAFI restaurant manager to his presence and told him that if he provided the same menu, the bratty wagon stayed off base. The silly man argued [NOT a wise move] and told the Staish that he was within his rights to enforce the ban [an even WORSE move].
Within 24 hrs the bratty wagon was back on base!
