British Troops forced to live in squalor
Well well, what a surprise.
I bet the MoD didn't want that coming out. Doesn't that fall within the Official Secrets Acts, that oft quoted legal missive, which was basically designed to hide Civil Serpents and miscellaneous Beauropratic blunders.
And we know that they do not make any of those.........don't we.
When I was on the Manxman, we were so overcrowed with leading ratings of the S and S branch, I slept on a camp bed in the loan clothing store.
Actually, it wasn't that bad, as I had nobody next to me snoring their head off, and I could stretch out without putting a foot or hand in someone's ear.
Troops on the ground in the jungle would have wept for joy for my sleeping conditions, so to be honest, I have nothing to gripe at.
Yours Aye
Arthur
