Somehow, I suspect there's another reason...

New year lay-offs: Army to fire 8,000 soldiers in 'fast-track' redundancies and sackings of over-45s

Tim Collins wrote:

The sheer size of the redundancies in a single hit will devastate morale and send totally the wrong message to soldiers on the front line. In the new year they could find envelopes on their doormats with bad news inside.

The bad news being that you have not been chosen for 'redundancy' and you are expected to go and piss your life away in a dusty shithole?

Well done BBC for proving people with another perspective on the whole soldier charity issue.

Thought I'd say it, as neither the mail nor its readers will.

I know you'll think I a snob and picking on you, but I've read that sentence four times and still can't fathom what it is you're trying to say. What is it that the BBC have proved people do? Exist? Or is it supposed to say "providing"? Or something else entirely? I have honestly no idea.

Isn't it reasonably clear from the context that it's a typo for "providing"?

As it could equally well be missing the words "do exist"* from the end, then no it isn't.

We are left to guess what she might have meant.

*or equally "are all Commies/Muzzie loving scum/unwashed UAF/traitors" or any number of things.
Not that I'm suggesting for one moment that Shyamz intended to make any of those statements or that they reflect her opinion. I'm merely pointing out that, as expressed, her meaning is unclear.

Hero? For all we know, we might have won the war in 1944 if it had got through.

The speculation is heavy in that one..

Quote:

carrying top secret war information back home to the UK from Nazi Germany

So it's from Nazi Germany is it...I wonder who sent that...isn't it a bit far?

Quote:

The message has been sent to wartime decoding headquarters Bletchley Park

No it hasn't because it's no longer operational.

Quote:

flying back from Nazi Germany to General Montgomery Headquarters in Reigate, Surrey.

Or General Montgomery Headquarters in Reigate?

Quote:

The destination X02 is believed to be the secret code for Bomber Command, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire

,
Or Bomber Command, High Wycombe?

Quote:

may well have been flying back to Monty’s HQ or Bletchley Park from Nazi occupied Normandy during the invasion.

Or Bletchley Park?
And I thought you said it was coming from Germany? Now it's coming from Nazi occupied Normandy?

So in summary, you have no idea where it was going to or where it was coming from.
