Not allowed to serve alcohol during the day??
Some of us fighter folk were visiting Neatishead one day, not long after this heavy-handed 'no drinking at lunchtime' nanny-state edict had been crapped down upon us from on high.
Whilst we were sipping Coca-Cola or something equally boring in the OM bar, the wonderful and much-loved Gp Capt 'Auntie' Joan Hopkins, Neat's Stn Cdr entered with a couple weasel-featured 'suits' from 11Gp in tow, who'd made it to the wilds of Norfolk without being buggered too savagely by the local six-fingered inbreds.
"Beer?" she asked her guest.... "Err, well, if it's OK, ma'am" came the feeble response. "3 pints please" asked Joan, "Well, what do you think of it?". "Err, very nice, ma'am". "It is, isn't it! Of course it's non-alcoholic, but I tasked the bar officer to find the very best he could, now that we're not allowed real beer at lunchtime any more!"
Point made in her own inimitable style!
