Last time I was on Salisbury Plain, it was covered in Rangerovers, busy proving that anywhere a tank can go, a Rangie can follow.
I see no Rangerovers in that picture.
Therefore, they must have better white camo than those poor Welshmen. Why didn't they just use sheep? Wales has got enough of them.

That thing that looks like a tree in the background? Not actually a tree!

Well, you know, the English aren't used to snow... ;)

We only had rain mixed with snow down here today: no accumulation. So boring.

But they're Welsh, not English. Though possibly that means they're used to rain?

Hmm. Desert camo doesn't seem to work at all then. ;)

Not Welsh, but the Hebrides joke:

Old Boy in the pub in South Uist: What, man, I thought your honeymoon started tomorrow! When your flight to the sun and sand of the Costa Brava?

Man: Costa Brava? No, man, I said the Coast o' Barra!
