Geriaviator,
Hilarious ! Congratulations on the recantation of your apostasy - and not a Torquemada (busily gathering firewood) in sight !
I well remember: "Fall out, the Roman Catholics and Jews" (do we still do this ?), and a W/Cdr Brown and myself standing lonely behind the parades, our backs turned to it, at ease while the CofE Padre "bothered God" (as the irreverent saying was in those days).
I rather suspect that your camel might have done well to leg-it for the horizon when he saw you coming, but who knows ? Perhaps he comes well out of it.
We must wait and see.
Danny.
