Next year when I retire if I ever ever have a hankering for membership of any military club or to post thousand upon thousand of WIWO drivel in here then Mrs SFFP has my full and written authority to have me committed.
There is absolutely no cost benefit for anyone once out of the service, or even for those who have never been in the bloody service to retain membership of any of these establishments as there is much better accommodation and eating readily available in London.
When I retire the military will be nothing more than a series of very very happy memories, but I will be a civilian and as such will be looking forward to getting on with my new life
