You wouldn't believe what we got given in the "old days". Highlights included £5000 each from easyjet as a contribution towards living costs that in reality was spent on copious amounts of god-awful beer and strippers to come out to the compound near Ardmore when it was a cadets birthday, and of course the weekly CP grocery visit to Wendy's Burgers. We got 2 Corolla's between a course of 6 and we even got a laptop each. To be fair we didn't do future cadets any favours - the laptops situation was "reviewed" after one too many needing their hard-drive reconstructed after being totally corrupted by copious amounts of dodgy porn that were downloaded on them - one of the lads from CP12 (allegedly) won the medal for the most dubious content - I won't go into details...
We also finished off the Corolla era with some pretty impressive driving efforts, the best being the cadet from CP 20 I think who wiped out 4 cars in one go in the Peachgrove car park after his "foot got stuck on the accelerator" while he was "heading out early on christmas morning" to "go to church". So to all those cadets now having to buy rusty Japanese death traps, I salute you, and on behalf of the offending members of the many CPs' who boldly went before you, I apologise!
