God, that Blunt fellow never goes away. I used to be a squaddie and all officers were self opinionated pigs. In fact, if the class system in Britain is alive and well, it's in the divide between the poor old grunts and the privelidged officers - most of whom don't know their anuses from their arm articulations.
