Told me by an old Royal Corps of Transport (Rickshaws, cabs and taxis) mate....
Officer to Sgt Major looking at assembled ranks, 'Srnt Major, can't you find something useful for these men to do, or at least **** them about a bit'
"Yes sir, **** them about a bit, yes sir, understood sir"

"Companyyyyy, Shun!
"Hats off, hats on, hats off, hats on!" "Staaaaand easy"
Sgt Major to Officer...
"Men now fecked about sir."
Officer... "Well done Srnt Major, carry on"!
