No concerns from my family, dad is in the Air force and mum used to be in the RAAF. My father agrees that the peanut thing is ridiculous and he has been in for about 35yrs so he knows the life and doesn't see how me having a peanut allergy is a problem....especially as there ARE people in the Air Force with the allergy.
Having been where Charlie is let me paint the picture a little clearly.
A favourite nibble was peanut butter and pilchard sandwiches with marmalade.
You are offered one and you decline. The chef du jour them makes you a fat ham sarnie instead. He has used the same, miniscule, preparation service, he has never done a city and guilds food hygenie course and he cleaned the knife on a slice of bread.
Do I need to go on?
