Inappropriate use of RAF uniform - Norwich Sci-Fi Club
Watching the BBC's Antiques Roadshow from RAF Marham last night I thought I saw Capt Mainwaring and Pvt Pike (or facsimiles) in the background. Both appeared to be wearing uniform - were they out of order too - for wearing Home Guard uniform?
I sometimes put my S6 on in the garage. Its the only thing that still fits.
As for the topic, no problem. He's aping a character, not deceiving anyone.
As for DR Who assistants... I avidly watched the entire last series and for some strange reason don't remember any of the plot.

"So sue me!", someone suggested earlier....
If such a person were sued (prosecuted?), any self respecting magistrate would, on hearing about the fundraising, be furious with whoever brought the case. Anecdotaly, judges and magistrates (around here) seem much more willing to tear a strip off timewasters in authority these days. Good thing too.

My apologies if i came over a bit forthright, i was just trying to put across that although it may be chiselled in stone in QR's, as an ex serviceman they mean nought to me now and that probably is indicative of most of the ex services population..

The fact that there is an air cadet stand behind him may indacate he is an air cadet VRT offcier. (although no VRT badges on the tabs, but some officers decide not to wear them!)
