ploughman 13 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) First priority when packing your kit on excercise was to get hold of some rolls of CUMFYBUM. Sounds a bit like the current situation. Edited March 28, 2020 by ploughman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

10FM68 19 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Quite by chance, and topically, I came across this last week - being used as a bookmark! Clearly it's been around for quite a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chrisgrove 10 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) What, no Geordies on this thread? As Safety Officer on the very first Battle Group through BATUS, I was hitching a lift with a Platoon HQ of the Infantry (Green Howards) Company at lunchtime. Platoon Sergeant suggests 'Jam and cheese sandwiches, lads?'. Compo cheese went down well (though I seldom got jam and cheese on bread since wartime in Newcastle, mores the pity. My Southern regiment would have laughed me to scorn had I suggested it), And, to add to the Squaddies Stew post, it was a standing joke in BAOR on the 70s that Mojo Stew consisted of ALL the components of compo stewed together (including the soap).

Chris I'm not a Geordie, but from Co. Durham, used to love the processed cheese and jam sarnies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
