    It's not many British army camps where members of the public can visit. We had a great day out there last year, chatting to the troops and visiting the museum. It took me back to my TA days when we excersised there.

      I believe that I got directed to this page after I'd complained online that the scrambled eggs I'd cooked at breakfast this morning weren't as fluffy as scrambled eggs from my previous attempts.
      I'm now hesitant to complain about them again.
