If we on are the subject of saluting stories, I hopefully have a new one (apart from all the people I told at the time).
While on the long walk to the car park at Shriv (JOCC students park as far away as possible) I passed an older gentleman who chastised me for not saluting Cols in the Army. I looked him up and down, pointing out he was in civvies and unfortunately I didn't recognise him to salute. While expecting a smart answer in reply, he simply replied with "F*** me, so I am, terribly sorry" and carried on about his day.
