The thread on the BBC feed-back line supports the view held by a large portion of the icecream licking public. As I understand it, a consideration in setting the military wage (X factor is it??) takes into account the so called reduced housing costs associated with those who may have to utilsed the DHE (or whatever they are called today) service.
Perhaps we should have TAXPAYER emblazoned above the other pocket of our greens or maybe a seasonal message to confirm/deny the latest story? Or maybe with our new fascination with badges we could express our mood by wearing a selection: black house = not happy with AFQ, red £ sign = getting the operational dosh etc.
