Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Marc James Small [SMTP:msmall@roanoke.infi.net] This gets frustrating. Even the British Army is now selling military clothing -- I suspect as a recruiting tool, to make it seem "cool" to be togged out in the latest military garb, but one cannot help seeing this as a fund-raising tool under a parsiminous Labour government. In any event, they -- the BRITISH Army, mind you, not the Yanks or the Canadians or even those fellows who walk around on the heads in the Antipodes -- are selling BASEBALL CAPS: http://www.army.mod.uk/army/index2.htm and follow the links. I am humiliated. Brollies, maybe, or even a discretely marked bowler. Or underwear. Yes -- I could see them selling British Army underwear for the likes of Ted and his ilk. But BASEBALL CAPS? Why not be authentic and sell cricket caps? Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
