Spheroid - your tongue is firmly planted in your cheek, I hope! I (don't) look forward to the day that the wreaths layed at the Cenotaph are placed by CEO UKAF, who happens to serve on the boards of half-a-dozen other worthy bodies, is overweight and wears an off-the-peg suit and rubber soled shoes. Arguably we are the only Department of State where the CE is a specialist (Dept of Health is not run by a Doctor, the FCO not by a diplomat etc), but given our unique role in society, I wouldn't want it any other way!
