Remind me of a time when an exercise was being held in Western Germany where tanks used to charge headlong over fields and crops followed by a BAOR officer with a chequebook. A tank drew up at a hostelry and the crew disembarked for some refreshment.

VE do Not serve Britishers here, was the response.

At this the crew remounted, the Lieutenant tank commander stuffed the barrel through a bar window and loosed off a 105mm. blank.

That'l learn them.

The perpetrator was quite well heeled with the requisite private income and paid for the damage.
