Peter,
Would I................ on a Sunday, after a bottle of red, on not mentioning the chest once either?

Now as you grow up in service you hear from time to time sayings that originated within the Military.

Some sayings never leave a branch of the military and are forgotten over time. Like “Can I have your egg?” It’s a saying used by RAF bomber crews in WW2. If they returned from a night mission, they would have breakfast after the debriefing. Eggs were rationed and there was only one egg for each airman. Not that eggs had anything to do with the real meaning behind the saying.
