Cross

I'm cross and I'm going to have a rant. Leave now if ranting bothers you.
I've read something on the BBC news which has got me very cross.
A small group of soldiers preparing for the funeral of a comrade where refused service because they were in uniform.
The Queen's soldiers were refused because they were wearing the Queen's uniform.
Outrageous.
I'm not an innocent, I am very aware that soldiers aren't always the best behaved little boys in the world and a bunch of squaddies in civvies out for a night on the pull...yeah, I'd think twice about letting them in.
But to refuse to serve boys in uniform for no other reason than they are in uniform is wrong.
And its not as if they went in for beer, they just wanted a warm wet.
I thought the days of "Tommy this and Tommy that" had passed and it was all "Help for Heroes", but it seems they are still with us.
