do do do you remember .........?
Odd how the trivia from times past pop up in ambush.
Here are a few:
The use of pink/white stripy toothpaste, mixed, to fill naughty holes in MQ wall [always magnolia wherever we went].
The not believing march-out with white gloves and dental mirror ....... until it happened.
The colonel who really did allow his pony in the lounge "but not the dining room of course" [JHQ].
The Met. observer out dawn airfield mushrooming who was totally lost in fog so that he was missing for the rest of his duty [AND the fog was forecast, guvnor].
Being told [JHQ again] that there was one garden roller for 20 quarters to share, one wheelbarrow in 10, one ladder in 10 ....... and nobody ever knew where the items were. Although I did once see the roller.
The mysteries of the x/y factor.
The even greater mysteries of accruing points towards MQ allocation.
And why, as one became more senior, the privileges upstream disappeared just before promotion.
Just musing.
