Lossie, years ago.
F-111 crew (Lt Col and Major) up to recce Tain Range. Theirs was being de-bombed, or whatever.
I, being 'new boy', joed into being part of the hosting team.
After visits etc, we would meet up in the Mess for drinkies and dinner.
Brussel Sprouts on the menu.
Lt Col to me, after tasting one, "Say Taxydoooal, what are these?"
"Erm, rather like small cabbages, Colonel" says I
"Hmm, can we not bomb the Brussel Sprout fields instead" commented the Colonel.
