Was it a revolving door then?
I've met more ex SAS guys round where I live than Soft Mick. One who shall forever be engrained in my mind told me he was a Capt in the SAS. I went along with his fantasy as he was good for a few free wets.
Burst his bubble one New Years Eve/My Birthday party at our local Social Club. There he was wearing his SAS Blazer and Tie stood at the bar. I had dressed up as a
bag of shit as there was a fancy dress competion going on as well (I Didnt win!!!!

). Anyway I looked him up and down and told him that he was odds on for first prize in the Fancy dress Competion!
Nasty? Well not really. He was a right Walter Mitty. After I had
outed him in public he renouched his chairmanship of the Clubs Commitee and didnt go near the place for yonks. I knew he was an ex Leading Fireman with the Cheshire Fire Brigade from the word go but as I said he was generous with the Wets!
