 Whoops....soz guys ! - Duncan
Have I mentioned that I did National Service in the Royal Engineers?

We were using explosives left over from World War 2. The trouble was, that sometimes the stuff wouldn't go BANG! If it wouldn't go off, the convention (rule?/ military law?) was that the people who had to sort it out went from the top down, so it was the officers who had to make it explode, which we common squaddies found rather amusing.
