I remember early 90's that BFBS put out an April fools spoof that all tax free perks for forces personnel were to disappear at midnight. I fell for it. The main NAAFI was closed for the day so I headed to the singlies NAAFI shop. It was full to bursting with blokes stripping the shelves bare. The NAAFI staff just stood back in amazement. Despite not drinking spirits myself, I bought a bottle of scotch and a bottle of brandy. I think I've still got the Asbach somewhere.
