When I lived in Wimbledon, my local Tory MP used to pose around in a Para Regt tie. He'd
never served in ABF. I was itching to "set him straight" on this but, alas, he'd obviously never walked down dark alleys at night or was even "accessible" in his constituency.
Mega creep.
Also, there used to be a total w*nker of a court usher in Wimbledon Magistrate's Court. He wore a RM tie. I later spotted him in the street wearing a SAS Windproof with Wings, DZ, Dagger, Combined Operations Badge and L/Cpl stripe! I grabbed him in the high street (The Broadway outside the BR station) for a polite word and he very uncomfortably slithered away. I had to behave 'cause I was one of his "customers" at the time and not at all anonymous.
But guess what?! Many weeks later, I saw him again. He was a
recruit at 2 Coy (Croydon).
