Two men were boasting to each other about their old army days. "why, my outfit was so well drilled," declared one, "that when they presented arms all you could hear was slap,slap,click." "very good." conceded the other,"but when my company presented arms you'd just hear slap,slap,jingle." "What was the jingle?" asked the first. "Oh," replied the other offhand, "just our medals!"

Thanks Karoshi and yes your right on that one the British dpm has basically stayed the same for 40 odd years only the shades of colours used have really changed, the only real change was the desert issue which was changed in the first Gulf war from a 4 colour to two and that was because the Iraq army had purchased the same material that the British had prior to that! and so the mod did,nt want our boys looking the same as the enemy,personally the new 95 pattern must be the least wearing of all the uniforms issued as well but i suppose all the budget cuts havent helped
