I've sometime used the excuse cheekily if some young **** starts to act an absolute prat on a night out.
Usually works. However, being a rather scrawny brown bloke it's obvious and extremely likely I'm not haha!

The bit of the story I can't help but feel you've left out is you took a step back, raised your eyebrows, put up your karate choppers and then told him you were in the SAS. Ok so maybe I'm embelishing the story a bit, but I can so see you doing that and some random phoney SAS guy running for his life

The correct answer to that is "there isn't a place in the world called hear ford and if there was, the boat house would be blue."
Contrary to what a lot of people believe, the SAS were not only in Hereford but a little close to home (for me anyway) The ones I met had huge bags under their eyes and looked hard as nails.

My old man was with the REME but was attached to 22 SAS.
My 2 older Brothers grew up on the camp in Hereford and my Sister was born there. We go every year to the memorial day celebrations and lay a wreath followed by a big meal and lots of drinking The most surprising thing I've always found about the SAS, is that very few of them are English, You're more likely to talk to a South African or an Aussie. One chap I was talking to last year was saying how he gets pulled by the coppers all the time around Hereford for haring about on his super bike The clock tower they have there is one of the most emotional places I've ever been to

Bloody sods got me in trouble with the RAF on my second ever shift. Flew in unanounced into the centre of the base, dropped some stuff off, and flew out again.
Gits.

Loving the custom title Mr Feek
I think I met one or two while on holiday in Oman but didn't like to ask. They were definitely ex British military, rather than seconded out there. Sultan Qaboos bin Said aka Sammy Sultan was educated at Sandhurst Military College and has a lot of respect for the professionalism of our forces. Which is why my Dad was working there after he left the RAF and why we were able to spend Xmas and New Year in glorious sunshine while back here everyone was wading through a foot or so of snow ('81-'82)
