Come on
O-D, I thought you'd recognise irony when you saw it!
. I'm more concerned about the Toms, Dicks and Harrys that become Sir Thomas, Sir Richard and Sir Henry. At least Jock stayed Jock
Sir Jock is an old colleague of whom I too think highly; when I last saw him (in a Gents lavatory in Wales as it happens, but that's another story, which I will tell you when I see you!) I told him that I was appalled by the manner (not necessarily the fact) of his removal from post.
I am sure Lord Jock will still be very helpful to UK Military Inc in the "other place", and not just to the light blue (but mostly!
)
