Does Argos still do that weird thing which is like shopping on the internet but you have to go into a store, look at a book (cannot spell catalogue), then having looked at book you then get in line and wait to be served, all the while wondering what your purchase will look like? And, of course, wondering what the fuck you are doing there, in the full knowledge it would have been cheaper on the internet.
Now what was that other company that went bust recently, Thomas Cook, again bit like internet shopping but more expensive and you had to be abused by a half wit who could barely use the booking system to enable you to pay for an over priced holiday.
But the real Argos was a damned fine ship.Dry books of tactics are beneath the notice of a man of genius, and it is a known fact that every British officer is inspired with a perfect knowledge of his duty, the moment he gets his commission; and if it were not, it would be sufficiently acquired in conversaziones at the main-guard or the grand sutler's.

Please don't tell me that the King of ARRSE has corrected an obviously and deliberately incorrect statement..
Of no interest to anyone else is that my Dad used to be a Nav on Argosys (Argosies? - what is the plural of Argosy?)."..there has seldom if ever been a shortage of eager young males prepared to kill and die to preserve the security, comfort and prejudices of their elders, and what you call heroism is just an expression of this simple fact; there is never a scarcity of idiots."

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.
