We were on Cook Patrol and we were told that the Minister was
coming to visit. It was cheese dreams which we duly made but
unfortunately some fell in the ashes. We put them aside but on
serving the Minister, he took the fated tasty bite which had been
dusted down. There were no side effects that we know of and he said
it was very tasty!
At Ranger Camp one of the girls went to the lats (no moveable
toilet in those days). She came back in tears because she had
fallen down the lats. One of the others said we will clean you up.
She said "It's no ma coat!".
"Whose is it?".
"Yours!!!!!".
Needless to say there was a gasp and a suitable facial
expression.
We had a laugh the next day.
