As an RCT TA Movements Officer I worked both Felixstowe and Harwich. On more than one occasion someone in a Service unit would start arguing with a Customs Officer, which was the cue for my WO to suggest "Tea, I think, Sir".
A Royal Artillery unit thought they were in the clear when the Customs guy asked for the gun barrels to be depressed - "and no cushions please gentlemen", and oh the stench of whisky and looks of anguish as the barrels emptied. On another occasion an RAF Regt unit was left with 3 DIY kits for Land Rovers.
