Makie learnie officers from Sandurst
A while ago I was on a cross channel ferry, Portsmouth to Caen, with three coach loads of trainees from the officer training college Sandhurst.

At the breakfast bar two queues were moving in parallel past a self serve buffet. On the officer side the chocolate croissants has run out so chinless wonder in cavalry twill and harris tweed leaner over and said

'pass me one of those chocolate croissant '

I ignored him.

Thinking me hard of hearing he again brayed, a bit louder 'Pass me one of those chocolate croissant'

This time I replied

' I get my children to say please when they ask for something'

Both queues went quiet, nothing more was said.

Give him a gun pah....... I'd think twice before trusting him with a box of matches
