You might have a shortage of crockery at Waddington, but at least you don't have absolutely no bacon whatsoever for weekend brunch at Venning Barracks Officer's Mess in Donnington, as happened the weekend before last. Eventually, after much grumbling on our part, the chef gracelessly produced a burnt sausage baguette with a complementary sachet of tomato ketchup. Pathetic doesn't even cover it... I much, much prefer Cosford Officer's Mess, albeit the coffee machines in the ante room are out-of-order.
