When I was in Egypt I was part of an inspection team doing the GOC's inspections, we did the vehicles and our armourers did the guns.
The general inspected the troops on parade, he had a fit when he saw that a captain was wearing a civilian pullover under his uniform coat and had the guy marched off the parade by a couple of MPs.
He was already in a bit of a rage because the steering rod end dropped off his Humber staff car as they reversed into the car park and they'd just driven at 90mph along the Suez Canal road.
