The way this country is going, it's a wonder it's not full of mud huts and Arab tents.

No comfort and joy in them days Dave, I wonder if they still have old mattress covers filled with straw? Happy days when they issued green maggots!

In late 70's when we went to Sennelager and 2 Para also arrived from Berlin we were stuck in the old stable blocks and given a mattress cover to fill with straw while 2 got the good billets, bastards. The headsheds then got their heads together and decided to hold a inter battalion olympics with proper events like pole vaulting and hammer throwing etc, where we got hammered in everything, only winning the fishing competition!
