When I was in training in 86 (pre PC bullshit when humour was considered to be humorous) the RM band at CTC had a big black bloke who played the bass drum complete with tiger skin tabard. Every time he marched onto the parade ground one of the drill staff would always shout “Oi Lofty, who said you could wear civvies”.
They couldn’t kill you. Well, maybe they could, but there’d be a long line of ‘no win no fee’ leaches chasing them for ‘justice’...
