You are such a lady Anne, as you say, coarse, not the sort of thing my

But it's a universally accepted truth that it's not the officers
that run the Army, but the Sergeants...

..for how long was your husband
'a Rodney' (as the sergeants refer to the officers), Judith? Bill
served for 36 years...

His name is Edward. Ranks always refer to Officers in that manner,
something to do with green eyes I belive?

...and I have never had any desire to be mistaken for 'a lady',
as anyone who knows me would tell you...I would, in fact, count
that as an insult! g

Insult? to be refrred to as well brought up and well mannered? g
