There is no point in engaging people on critical points of the change as that will just end up with an ill-informed mass having a turd-throwing contest - at least this way you are being engaged on something that, on the face of it, needs little background understanding, even if it turns out to be every bit as futile.

gonna need a bigger cheque book
I must remember to update my name on facebook.
Our shoulders will be reminiscent of Kenny Everettâs General Cheeseburgerâs medal ribbon.
Need a new brass door sign too - wonder i we can claim costs from from HQAC? And my personalised VRT registration is now worthless.
Then thereâs the tattooâŠ
Easy enough to ad âEx-â to the front, unless it is tattooed somewhere with space constraints
Could always go for VT, and just lose the reserve bitâŠ
That might give people the idea weâre bringing back asr launchesâŠ
RAF Vosper Thornycroft
Iâm going to need to bus a new mug
Does this mean Iâll get a third commissioning scroll?
