I like the SA80

[Peter Laidler]

We used to call the retired-but-still-serving Officers RO's (for Retired Officers). They used to wield a lot of power/authority and even as a lowly Capt, you had to tread carefully! Some even used to wear uniform. One uniform wearing retired Lt.Col I know of was told in no uncertain terms by a serving Lt Col that there was only a place for one such rank - and HE had it!
