Ah the great British humour, it would like Prince Harry has got some support after all, but don't look if you are easily offended.

"The white powder I heard about was Persil Automatic"

I guess, unless they're going to get a royal seal of approval, we have to say, "other white powders are available"

probably that baking soda they use in Arm & Hammer toothpaste. Anyway, those photos should wind up the Taliban good and proper.

/// We have a name round here (near Colchester Garrison) for the women pictured... they're generally called squadie mattresses. ///

Do you happen to know them personally Chuck?

If not I think that is, not only insulting but also sexiest, even if these women do not actually happen to be soldier's wives/girlfriends or partners.

I don't think you would care for your wife/girlfriend or partner to be called a 'civilian mattress'.

soldiers ? ///

Eh, don't you think that the weaponry is a bit of a give away, unless of course you think that the photos were taken in the Imperial War Museum, or perhaps the Tank Museum at Bovington Camp, Dorset?

anotheoldgit, calm down!! I think Chuck said that is what they were referred to in his neck of the woods, he didnt say that is what he called them.

Oh sorry, I just thought by using the word 'WE' he was including himself, so don't you think he should have used the word 'Some' to save any confusion.

Still I was only coming to the defence of the fairer sex.

not all women are blond !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[anotheoldgit]

But it seems that the 'TOP BRASS' are not amused, by the antics of their soldiers and their female partners.

At least Harry knows how to spend tax payers money, p*ss it up a walk.

I haven't heard one person criticise Harry for what he did, but I was a tad shocked and I'm only in my 30's!

"Squaddie mattresses.

When I was in the RAF Naafi girls were known as airmen's groundsheets.

[emmie]

sure they must have been delighted, or perhaps they were unaware of it.

You must have been in a 'different' RAF to the one I was once in, in those far off distant days we had and showed respect for females.

My first reaction upon hearing the story was , what appalling security and how stupid of Charlie. If you can carry in a camera you can carry a knife or a gun.
