That reminds me of a dit actually, pull up a bollard and I'll spin it...
Many moons ago, after HRH's much publicised divorce from Fergie the Ginger Monster, I was spending an incredibly bored Summer Friday afternoon in the Pompey Waterfront UPO. As usual, all the UPO were still turned to "in case a customer came in" and we were spending the afternoon watching the tumbleweed blow across the Sail Loft car park that was completely deserted except for our vehicles.
Out of my mind with boredom, I decide to amuse myself by using the POLE Computer system (now sadly defunct) to see who was being paid however much that month. We discovered, amongst other things, that yes, CINCFLEET does pay more in tax in one month than anyone reading this is likely to earn in three.
I also discovered that His Royal Highness Prince Andrew the Duke of York was paying Married Unnaccompanied Food Charges at wherever he was based (think it was Culdrose). For the unintiated, this is the lower rate of food charge that married personnel pay while Living In. Except he hadn't been a married man, for at least six months. So I then worked out that he owed Pusser several hundred quid in Food and Accom charges.
Funnily enough, my Chief couldn't be persuaded to chase it up.
