Tourist
I would just like to say that I will wear it how I damn please, and whether or not I can be arsed to get changed will not be influenced one jot by a bunch of ex cold-warriors who had and have nothing to worry about other than clothing etiquette
Interesting concept, hadn't realised that service personnel could now obey whichever regulations they damn well pleased. Must have missed that change.
Actually looking through the thread I dont think this is a generation thing, a lot of younger serving members seem to agree that standards should be maintained. I think its one of attitude. We had arrogant prats back in the Cold War days as well Tourist, they gave us something to worry about, because obviously, as you say, other than bulling our shoes and pressing our uniforms there was nothing else to do.
