It was not for the passport - that part is optional, it can come automatically with the citizenship certificate

but £14.3M a year in salaries alone for the BBC execs is taking the piss somewhat.

I agree. The only decent thing on the BBC is Radio 4, and that's ruined by the Archers.

Radio 4 is nice, but is it not them who also have "Little Britain" bulltulip?

I don't know, I've not seen a whole episode of "Little Britain" on TV, let alone heard it on radio. On a related note, I was channel hopping last night and those two happened to be on (don't know their names, the fat one and the one that swam the channel) and they were made-up as body builders. I was amazed to see at how realistic their body suits were, or whatever was used. Anyone else see it and know how it was done? Body doubles?

Btw, would you like to run a straw-poll on the number of ex-military there are on this forum?

Um...does the Air Training Cadets count as well ?

I remember saying an oath to the Queen...

I've muttered one or two under my breath, notably aimed at AtW!

You can say the same about high wages (no, these are commercial salaries actually) in any sphere or organisation. It's just jealousy. In a recent survey Joe 'Thicko' Public thought that £62k was a good salary for a top international football player. That's £62k a year, not a week!!

Those of us that have served in HM Forces have done so!

Btw, would you like to run a straw-poll on the number of ex-military there are on this forum? I think you'd be surprised. But hey, don't let facts get in the way of you talking bollocks.

I wouldn't be surprised. I think there are a lot of ex-military in contracting and recruiting. Probably because they come out with a confident, can-do attitude, which is much more important for success than actually being able to do.
