We were en route to pick up GOC of whichever MNB we were in Kosovo, when we were passed a new pick up grid, which was helpfully passed in ramrod. We decoded the grid and set off for new pick up point. As there was nothing but Kosovan peasants at the new grid, we thought we should check the grid, you guessed it, we had started with 1 instead of 0 (or was it the other way round) - doh. Correct new grid was only about 200m from original, which is where we arrived 15 mins late to find a rather peed off Brigadier.
