HI JOHN

SORRY MY BLOOD IS BOILING OVER - THIS SO CALLED DEMOCRACY THAT STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN WITH THE GREAT DIVIDE BETWEEN THE HAVES AND HAVE NOTS.

I LIKE MOST SERVICEMEN AM A ROYALIST BUT OF LATE MY FAITH IN THE MONARCHY HAS BEEN SORELY TESTED... AND THIS KCB HAS NOT HELPED.

Unfortunately it has always been the case that those at the top get all the recognition for the work of all those at the bottom, a Colonel that I served with on getting an OBE said to me that it actually means 'Other Buggers Efforts' and how right he was.
