"I cannot see where the problem is, the mess kitchens are for ENTITLED personnel, if non-entitled folk wish to eat there, then they pay the relevant prices. Messes are for service folks, let the non-entitled use McDonalds or similar."

One day soon you'll all be down McDonalds......... or paying even more
