By coincidence
I read a long list of names that Bill has posted, not forgetting his counter in the top right hand corner. My intention is to talk about a report I heard yesterday about how badly British soldiers are equipped. A war widow was telling the interviewer how her husband had given up his bullet proof vest, to another unit, because it was considered that he wouldn't be in any danger. He was shot in the chest defending himself with a gun which did not work properly. Saturday morning I was greeted by a report that Christmas goodies would not be going out to the British troops because it would clog up the supplies system. I wonder if they are starting to have problems getting new recruits?
