Do you think the criteria for awarding the VC should be changed to reflect this?

Got to agree with Aldo on this. The criteria is just about right. Since it's inception in 1856 there have been numerous amendments made to the original Royal Warrant. At the risk of boring people here are some facts ...

Excellent thread. It is nice to see that so many took part in parades. Sadly I think it may soon become a thing of the past outside of London and the big cities. About 20 Old and Bold marched in Mansfield and apart from the Legion Standard there was only 1 other regular standard plus 2 cadet ...

Sorry. I have been AWOL for a month or two working on the Poppy Appeal. I will be spending the next few hours picking out which posts to read but this one caught my eye.

For what it is worth here are my thoughts.

Firstly, I disagree that they should be left in situ. The site is going to be built ...

Not a problem for me, I've had it for years (pain in the arse)

No,That's piles Rabby :D I think the lad is talking about eczema!

Gary, I think the key words are 'It doesn't affect my sporting abilities'. If it doesn't affect you normally then I can't see it being a problem. Some of the posters ...
