That's the problem they all call them selves 'Chefs', now when they were called 'Cooks' they could cook.

Marc,
Hope Ry doesn't read this as those 'Dapper Sappers' can be a touch tetchy, well, they are all 'mad, married or methodist' but they no doubt supply the idea and then leave the real soldiers to get on with it.
(Marc, do you think that has lit the blue touch paper? I am heading to the loft to find my kevlar incase of any fall out)

Marc, point proved, as a Sapper himself has said, leave it to the infantry pioneer section....
