West Coast,
Point taken; let's agree to disagree, respect the fact that we have different rank systems and move on.
SASless,
Having re-read my post, I realise I was wrong to tar you all with the same brush due to the ignorant actions of a few individuals (I did try a wave and that's what attracted the pointing of the weapon in the first place). Agreed that we are all on the same side.
Apologies to all for getting so emotive.
Regards
TP
