OAP
Cheers Onceapilot. I'm not going to die in ditch over that one simply to bring to my defence Euclid's postulate of equality (mathematical nonsense) - since 1945 predates 1990 then the military strength has therefore been reducing since 1990. In all seriousness the reason I referenced 1990 was that was the start of my service career. Throughout which it was defined by review after review that reduced our strength and eat away at our terms and conditions. That it has been happening since 1945 only supports my point further.
