When I was looking after Ascension from my office at Strike I used to visit the island a lot. The standard accommodation for us at the time was the bashas shown and at one stage I was in a double unit with the other room being occupied by the unit doc who had the same rank and surname as me. Having been roused at 2am one fine night I was hustled into a Landy to attend a medical emergency. Slightly taken aback by the turn of events I suggested that there may have been a slight clerical error and that perhaps if they had explained the situation en-route I could have suggested they wake up the chap next door.
