Prize at mess do
I won a prize at a mess functon, a hand-held PC-thing. When it was sent to my unit, it arrived damaged, obviously opened and bits missing. Some theiving git had their fingers in the package. I wrote a nice letter to the badge, no reply. Badge left, new badge, no reply. Left unit now. What should I do. Why should I pay my outstanding mess bill when they have not replaced the prize. Appreciate not paying a mess bill is not the done thing but a tad fed up with the units attitude

Re: Prize at mess do
Badge may not have been involved, but the PEC/Ball committee guru should have receipts and stuff (unless he's Bob Useless)
There will have been a whole finacial thing going on with treasurer and other bean counters wanting to known where the allocated prize fund was spent.
(too many times as PEC
)

?? treasurer got receipt for buying the sodding thing but I never signed anything at all. I returned it and never got any notification of action. Big bean counter wants to take £10 off mess bill to cover cost of tickets and I forget the whole thing ??? No way Hose ay !

Sounds like they just can't be arrsed
As an Engineer I recommend strongly reinforcing your position with the aid of a short length of 4" x 2"

Yes, you can't beat a bit of whipping with a length of flannelette.

"Hurrah for the Works Group" just doesn't have the same ring...
"A volunteer is worth ten pressed men."
So, a TA battalion or nine Regular Guards battalions? Not a difficult choice, then (especially as we don't have nine Regular Guards battalions).
I am a number. I am not a free man.
