From that generation which considered, in the language of the time, that ear rings were only for 'girls, pirates and poofs', I admit to being out of touch with the current standards.
I also nearly hurled when I saw some overweight 'formerly known as WRAF' officer exposing a flabby gut roll incorporating a diamond in the Officers' Mess bar annexe at RAF Mount Pleasant a while back....
Not even 'Falklands pretty'!
And don't get me started on 'officers' with tattoos.....
But a H4H wristband is generally acceptable these days - and not unreasonably so.
