AA62, hope you enjoyed that platter, it sounds pretty damn good. Sycamore's post reminded me of a trip I did when, accompanying myself in the "boot" of Albert, were not only some "erberts" but indeed the regimental Colonel. I asked the loadie if I could take my hot meal on the bottom bunk, so as not to offend, to which I was told that if I wanted to swap my ACC with a "member" of the boarded passengers, he would indeed be invited to the flight deck, to enjoy his curry in peace. (No doubt, I was expected to "golly" to said Colonel). I swapped with a purple bereted young fellow with no discernible rank, and no front teeth. I enjoyed his butty box, he loved the curry, our front end weren't so gushing in their appreciation. Hope all is going well down south and you get more of that lobster.
