The perils of wearing a uniform..
While I can't hope to compare with the travails of UK service people during "The Troubles", a couple of mates and I who'd just hopped off the train,
anticipating a couple of weeks' pleasant leave, were walking down a main street in the middle of Sydney, 1969, and were a little taken aback
to find ourselves abused and spat upon by a few long-haired and colourfully-clothed 'peace and love' types.
We didn't overly react - but effectively 'expressed our displeasure'.
I doubt those ones tried pulling that stunt again for a while.
