Do you all remember that poem that used to do the rounds in the 80s - you can still Google it. Forgive my spelling, you all know why.

"Shyt Promotes Growth."

Considering Mr Peach 'heard it fwom the twoops' . . .

I fear for the RAF when you have people like this running it, and they wonder why retention is so bad, I am surprised he hasn't put forward a pay cut for the chaps in these Austere times.... Ohh wait, 1% being less than inflation, he has already signed up for that. I wonder what other trinket to add to the list they have promised him for selling his fellow RAF colleagues short.

Attended a dinner with ACM Sir Stuart Peach last year and have to say that his presentation amounted to a pep talk for young serving officers and was of little interest to old retired types like me.

Can't see it any other way of looking at it frankly . . .

Back to lions led by donkeys?

Good. Long may that tradition continue.

Good point, except that most present were old retired types like me.

From my own experience of the man in question, he is far from being a donkey

I agree. I wouldn't suggest for a moment that any VSO is a donkey.
They have to operate within the fiscal constraints placed upon them by the Treasury.
Whether one agrees with the distribution of hardworking taxpayers wealth is another matter.
