Have just phoned SOLENT RADIO. Yes,they are still taking expressions of interest/concern.

Emailed a big YES last night and, having found the volume knob on the computer have been listening. Wonderful stuff!

What a birthday present for you, Barry....but don't stint on the malt.

Notice on the one hand the MOD insist veterans (civilians) are not bound by any MOD medal wearing rules or regulations once they leave the service. Then the MOD duplicitously state: "The wearing of unauthorised awards is a grave discourtesy to Her Majesty The Queen" This is the nonsensical hypocritical situation Malay Borneo veterans are left in, when it comes to wearing the PJM medal without permission by The Queen.

Spot on, George. Total hypocrisy.

What happened to the good old days, when, if you were bad at your job, you got fired.
Nowadays, it seems that dishonesty and incompetence are considered a virtue within certain quarters, and they will even give you a pretigious 'gong' for your troubles, or should I say the trouble that you have caused.

Perhaps that is where we have all gone wrong.


Yours Aye

Arthur

Yes Arthur it is indeed a sad reflection on those responsible for administering our public service. Unfortunately it is becoming more widespread. As a program manager in health services before retirement I witnessed situations where incompetence was tolerated because of fear of reprisals from above (not heaven I might add) either politically or senior management trying to appease the patron saint's of lost causes. To show initiative or concern for your fellow man was highly discouraged. I relate very well to the behaviour of the suits, anyone with an ounce of concern for others are not working in those positions. Trust me.
