Cool

My two winged nipple bat has a sixpence behind it. Old seamstress on the windy isle wont stitch wings on without one.

Supposedly '....an Officer shall always carry enough change for a shoe-shine and a shave'

The tradition is still generally upheld, at least, it was on my course not too long ago. Most Grannies have a handfull of predecimal coins somewhere.

Its probably in QRs but never bothered to look. I did however find the one about inspecting the underwear of subordinates........... anyone out there taken the liberty?

Ray.
