A retired army colonel who drank in the same pub as me had some fantastic stories to tell.
Some might even have been true....
One story tells of a collision between a British army lorry and a car carrying the King of Egypt (during the closing days of the British presence there). At the subsequent inquiry, the lorry driver was asked if he was aware of who was in the car. Not having been recruited for his diplomacy, he answered, "There were two W*gs in it".
Horror, shock! The driver was taken off and given a stern lecture on his language, and the inquiry resumed. Again he was asked if he knew who was in the car. "Yes sir, it was His serene highness King ......, and another W*g".
