People are overlooking Mark's single handed liberation of the last sticky toffee pudding at the NAAFI in Catterick in 1993.
A true hero.
Marc Francois accuses veterans minister Al Carns of betraying military personnel who served in Northern Ireland.

Carns, who was in the Royal Marines for 25 years and was awarded the Military Cross for his tour of Afghanistan, points out that he served in Northern Ireland. ~AA

Not a semi-circular settee delivered by a jet-propelled NAAFI, for a semi-circular vice-consul, perchance?

Corporal Lilian Bader, from Toxteth, dismissed from NAAFI in 1939 after it was ‘revealed’ her father was a merchant seamen from Barbados, in 1941 was one of the first Black British women to join the WAAF and served as an instrument repairer.

Still ploughing through the very entertaining Montys Autobiography, but grabbed an afternoon at the BL to read this History of the Naafi by Sue Lowe. Ok as a collection of stories but lacks citations. Surprised at how little has been written about the service for the services. #histbookchat

I bought this coat hanger 34 years ago, and it’s still in use. Unlike the Naafi shop I bought it from which was closed a long time ago along with the RAF station it served…

It’s like me trying to understand what the NAAFI jokes in The Goons were about. I may have learned what the NAAFI was, but that doesn’t mean I understood what it meant to a generation that had been to war.
