Yes, I felt a Hovis advert brewing....,

Reminds me of a conversation I had with TWY about his first posting to Nigeria in 1968 straight from the Navy - one year on, one month off. Then he was posted to Iran on four months on, one month off and thought "this is the roster for me and I don't want to change". 8/4 was standard for years in BHL until a) they had a bunch of hostage situations in Nigeria and, b) BHNL split away and the salaries and cross-BU movement conditions changed dramatically, which meant they had to recruit all the 3Ms (Mercernaries, Misfits and Missionaries) that other touring companies used but BHL had never had to previously
