"Perhaps Valley should be closed & move their units to St Athan. At least they'd be near the ranges".
But that would make it a bl00dy long drive to the Octagon on a Friday night. How would we survive?!

Surely the smart thing to do would be to hold off moving anything until the financial situation improves...... Might be a decent Station but one would imagine there will be quite a lot of development to upgrade it to a training facility, in my time they moved out of Saints to Halton and then to Cosford, not exactly financially astute, considering the time frames involved.
One would imagine the Naval part will involve hacking the bottom off all the doors and nailing a plank across the bottom as per Lossie used to be, as for the army....
forgive me for being dumb, but what is SLAM? one up or down from SLUM?

Barracks would definitely need to be improved to SLAM standard

You chaps at Valley are clearly spoiled these days; when I first was posted there ('73), there was:
No dual-carriageway A55, on or off the island (only tiny stretches).
No Sunday drinking off-camp (except for 'clubs').
No entertainment (other than that involving sheep...).
No English spoken in pubs etc (you learned to order your beer in Welsh).
No decent women (but lots of indecent ones.....).
No sense of humour amongst the local Constabulary.
No place-name road sign as you entered Llanfair PG (we kept stealing them, which accounts for the attitude of the Bobbies).
No need to clean the front window of the Dublin Packet pub in Holyhead, as somebody went through it most Saturday nights.
Despite all this, I had a good time on Anglesey, which boasts 100miles of coastline, most of it by the sea.........
