Really cross RAF bombs Peterborough.

If its in The Mash, it must be true.

http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/w...e-20080307777/

"Many people have already evacuated, although a Guardian-reading hardcore has pledged to shout incisive criticism at the planes as they unleash fiery death.

Air Chief Marshal Sir Tom Logan said: "Thanks to the cutting edge technology of today's RAF, this charming, provincial city with its treasured medieval architecture will be a smouldering husk by around tea time. Peterborough has made its date with destiny. I would strongly advise its citizens to flee to Grantham. If you're going via the A1, there's a lovely tearoom at Woolsthorpe."

Well if they have any munitions left at the end of the day, my next door neighbour's caravan could do with a make over.....

Absolutely brilliant, Al. Many thanks. I have to confess, I am that sad 'person who had never heard of The Daily Mash'. Now bookmarked.

Any attack on Peterborough would wipe out half of the immigrants in the UK.

Me too airsound, I find so many of their articles spot on compared to the Daily Mail. Excellent!
Thanks for that one Al, so much for all the rhetoric praising the FT. Oh, and another thing
its the first time that I actually get the feeling that the baton (whatever thats worth) has been passed. The likes of Chugalug of course, will have experienced this many times

Neither Mrs C nor I got where we are today by twirling batons, was that something they taught you in the Regiment? Was there a special outfit for it?

I never did QCS, but I take your implication about the bus conductor uniform. Talking of which.. buses of course, something close to your heart given your career profile.

Glad you like it Airsound. The Mash has some great insights into renewable energy this week too.

Al, I think you've hit on the solution! Send the QCS into Peterborough, as per your video link, for a spot of 'shopping'. Problem solved methinks. In the meantime hold very tight please, ding ding. Anymore fares?
