Ah Mr B, of course, but slight thread drift then?
The only time I do the 'when I was' is when there is a receptive audience such as at an Aviation Group or such. If you were to 'entertain' me with stories of Gutersloh or Laarbruch Buccaneers I would listen patiently but . . .
War stories are really only of interest to each other if we were there, or shooting a line on Pprune for instance about the Porno film club run in one of the airmens' bashas by the RAFP that upstanding and honest body of men.
No, I see a Veterans' Card in as a quite different and legitimate request if it grants additional privileges like my NHS or TfL cards.
