No, you did the job of every standing military in peacetime, to train for war and act as a deterrent. No different to the men and women in Estonia and Romania now. I did a Laarbruch tour during the...

Try living here, it's awful. Every lamppost has a sign saying 'Save our Scampton' or something similar, save it for what? If that film hadn't been made no-one would give a monkey's.
