    GUNNERS DON'T WEAR ANYTHING

    Thats why they shout alot.
    We should remember the tremendous contribution of the Queen Mother to the war effort:
    As the BBC pointed out, she 'bravely remained in London beside her husband' during the war.
    This contrasts sharply with the actions of my grandfather who, on the declaration of war immediately left his wife and children and pissed off, first to France, then North Africa, Italy, France (again) and finally Germany.
    The shame will always be with us.

    They are not cannons, they are cannon, the plural of cannon is cannon.
