I'm laughing in my station, There's an ex Scots Guards CSM, an ex para, 2 ex RAF, an ex RAOC CSM, and 2 ex RMP, when we all start talking in military speak, the civvies haven't got a fucking clue what we're talking about. ;)

When you joined Landrover was'nt heard of. You drove a Champ or a 1 tone Austin crab, or in my case an Aveling Austin grader, TCV's with the starting handle at the front, an Mr Blashford was a 2 Lt. Not forgetting we knew what a button stick was for and used it daily. OK so im old. But i still appreciate the new.
