Saturday Special

Today is an opportunity to say thank to all our serving personnel in Armed Forces Day. This annual event will this year be hosted by Hadleigh on behalf of Suffolk but closer to home if you see a member, or former member, of the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Army or Air Force, just say 'thank you'.

Joke of the day:

A soldier friend had a problem with mice in his quarters. A sailor told him to spray them with WD40.

It didn't get rid of mice but it stopped them squeaking.

(Did you groan? Send in your own. Our thanks to Barney for that one)
