I heard about this on the radio this morning.

The girls here dress less scantily than down south.

I wonder how much exposure to the real world the poor dear had received.

Oldfart,

It seems he was getting a bit more exposure than he wants!

[Oldfart]

I wonder if he cleared it with HQ before imploding?

Imagine this.

Hello General, this is Captain Emmerton Smythe-Throgmorton-Twatt III. I'd like permission to make a pratt of myself by slagging off at the local yokels who don't conform to my concept of modesty and ding dang daisy meekness. Ah went out into the big city lookin fer a bit of R&R, that's rest and religion to you, but all Ah found was bright lights, loud music and Jezabels.

Hello Captain, of course you can damage the usually relaxed rapport we have with the locals.

Thanks ever so much General.

Complicating what should be a simple humorous situation, the Captain's existence can not be verified, the contact details being corrupted or false.

Whether this was the newspaper "razzing" or whether someone took an identity not theirs, it's now complicated.
