Reminds me of my somewhat dubious moment of glory leading a 4 flight parade through Ipswich some years ago on the occasion of the Freedom parade. After marching past the dais, with a copper on a motorbike keeping the way clear ahead, some tosseur on a pushbike decided to make some sort of 'peace protest' by riding across my bows holding up a 'peace salute'....
"F*ck off right now, or this sword goes right up your ar$e", quoth I, somewhat
sutto voce.
"And I won't see anything", said the copper.
So f*ck off he did!
Free beer in the RAFA afterwards as a result....
