I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

May be one title. Just possibly one command and one budget, but one cap badge and one uniform? Oh do get real.

The Army tried that with its big regiments What happened? The cap badges became battalions in that bg regiment.

One uniform? The RAF supposedly has one uniform but has never managed to place an order for cloth so that all the uniforms are the same colour. Each batch order goes out to tender and what comes back is 'near enough'.
