Guys not sure if this is the right forum apologies if this is the case however here goes, just logged on to facebook and saw one of my old muckers phots at a recent wedding, he's 60+ and an ex WO1 wearing full No1s with medals at his daughters wedding, has he been back on the Pussers or is this allowed. He looked the DBs by the way. Experts on Dress Regs please respond I only put mine on for sex now - and I'm too fat to post phots
Personally I think he should be able to wear whatever he wants at his daughters wedding, as a time served WO1 he has certainly earnt the right to tell anyone who disapproves to stick it up their hairy teatowel holder.
Not what I would do personally but if makes her feel happy and proud then no harm done whatever the trumped up bureaucrats say the rules are. A good friend of mine died of cancer last year, he had served 22 years in the RN, 5 years in the Police and 20 years in the Prison Service, he asked me to drape a white ensign on his coffin, another mate to place his Police cap on top and another to place his prison officer's cap. The funeral director had the neck to tell me I couldn't do it - regulations apparently - only Union Flags allowed. I told him to stick it right up his arse and get stapling, he smiled and said OK, this once - he was an ex-matelot!
Things like this are done for family and loved one's, makes them feel proud and I'm all for making people happy.
