Well that's what my OH had to consider during his naval service years..

Long gone are the days of hitchhiking in uniform or with a cap tied to a bag. I used to hitch weekends from Faslane to Liverpool with a cap on my bag, when I`d used all my travel warrants up. Never failed to get a lift.

When I was based in London 20 odd years ago many of the pubs around Petty France/Victoria St used to have hastily scrawled signs pinned up outside: "No Forces" or "No Squaddies" due to various episodes of enthusiastic behaviour around the other clientele

These days "No MP's" would be more appropriate, starting with the HoC bar

I used to do that in the 70's, and then a general order came out forbidding it, due to the risks involved....
