Good point well made Schiller.

I also remember the story of the group of junior officers who had been invited to lunch with the local admiral in a probably better unmentioned Mediterranean location. Their boat having arrived inshore much earlier than the lunch party, they stopped for a swim at the local officers' club, where they met up with, and had fun and frolics with, a very attractive bikini-clad young lady who, for reasons unknown, ended up in a monokini. She rapidly left the scene to restore her modesty, but the young officers met her again very shortly afterwards - on arrival at Admiralty House where they discovered that she was in fact their host's very much younger wife ..... Fortunately, for the greater good of all, everyone's lips remained sealed.

In a vaguely similar vein, we always used to have fun calling very senior officers' wives Lady/Mrs every second word just to see how long it took before they eventually had to say, "Oh do call me X"!
