TTN,

Be grateful you never had to endure tins of 'cheese possessed'! The CVRT armour of the 80s and 90s also had a Boiling Vessel which was nothing more than a (sharp edged) kettle/pressure cooker conveniently located in front of the doorman at shin/patella height (depending on whether you were QCS material or not). I don't know what was more dangerous to the vehicle occupants - that thing whistling in protest as the clank bounced at 30 mph over the bondu and catching the troops in turn as they debussed, or the vehicle commander standing on a 220 gallon jerry can of petrol.

Still nothing like those glorious tinned sausages though.
