I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

TIO, and THAT is the bone of contention. I think the same pressure was applied to coffee bars etc elsewhere.

At Coningsby the NAAFI van went tango uniform and NAAFI stopped providing the service. An enterprising local bought a small white van, stocked up at the butchers outside camp and then did the rounds with a suitable markup. She made a profit.

The difference is NAAFI was trying to use the familiar WW2 style mobile canteen that probably cost squillions to run.
