Good morning, gentlemen. I was indeed referring to the Royal Air Force Personnel Management Centre at innsworth, as I suspect you all knew anyway. However, the topic deviation on to "Mess Bills, prompt payment of" is, of course, typical of this Thread ... and indeed has already generated an interesting anecdote [#9078].

My only "Mess Bill Interview" was at OCTU, where my Flt Cdr called me in to his office to enquire if I had 'private means', as he was slightly concerned about the sum involved. I assured him I was not concerned, and ran up an even larger bill the following month. And thus began a long career of indebtedness, exacerbated by spending my initial Officer's Outfitting Allowance on a better car.

Curiously, during many years as either Mess Secretary or PMC [the other PMC], I can't recall any instances of individuals missing the deadline of the 10th.
