You can never have too many Scots !Because 10 SCOTS would have been too many?
Sorry resist.

All the garrisons that gave me the most case file workload had resident Scottish regiments!

We like a drink !
But alcohol, military and discipline don’t really work together very well.

I had a nice meal in the Sergeants mess in Northern Ireland with the RSM of the Black Watch dressed as a SSgt when I was a Corporal but that's another story!

I was acting sergeant on weapons intelligence, we were having an explosives destruction day destroying seized terrorist plastic explosives. My colleague - a fellow RMP corporal and I were invited for lunch, we were in combats for the day, I had a Norgie shirt whereas my colleague had a combat shirt with 3 stripes under his jacket. No Norgies were allowed in the mess. Our Black Watch range officer (a CSgt) lent me one of his combat shirts as we were a similar build. Off we set for lunch. We had just got our meals when the RSM spotted 2 strangers in his mess and invited us to sit with him. My hoop was twitching like a rabbit's nose! He asked who we were and what we were doing, we explained that we were RMP weapons intelligence on a destruction day, he was very interested in what we were doing. I was never so relieved to get out of there. He even commented on the old joke of you can tell when you're getting old when the police look younger - I was only 22!
