Gordon,

Are we saying the civies were/are better than the Army Catering Corps ?

At Harrogate YES...

7 Sigs quite good
8,11,and 24 Sigs crap
18 Sigs Fair
19 Sigs Pure dead brilliant..,but there was only one at Changi,the rest were RAF.A different breed of cook/chef.
Take note John boy.

Come on John Boy - what's your opinion ?

I remember the Middle east School of Cookery in our camp at Famagusta 1955/7, we all knew when the grub was good, when they had upgrading courses and the food was distributed evenly to the OR's dining room & Sgt's mess.

John boy, those symbols etc are on their way to Cipher for decripting

Did we find out why Jolly Jack Tar wears his medals so high up? When I left school I applied to join the RN. When I got to the Recruiting Office the first question I was asked was "Can you swim?", to which I replied, rather wittily, I thought, "Why, haven't you got any ******* Boats?" They pointed me in the direction of the Army Office.

Well done Johnboy, let me know when you are about to open it, not (in my humble opinion) as good as Asbach, but hey it is a very acceptable one

I thank thee sir's

Hennessy will do fine john boy. Talking about drink etc, I remember a Canadian WO1 (Conductor) who used to drink a couple of bottles of canadian vodka during a home film show in the 1st Commonwealth Ind Bde Sgt's mess, out in Korea.

I'll have a Dujardin, John Boy (I'm not a Brandy snob).
