And in the late 50's early 60's it was much easier, to get a lift while in uniform....... |

I was in the UK Army Reserve from 1967 until 1981. |

We had been living on mainland when I had a 'blackout'. I crossed a road to the local M & S and there was a man standing inside the doors looking out towards the street. |

Yes went through all that in the 80s/90s and I was a MOD civilian, not only the IRA but 'hissing Sid' was alive and well. We had our cars searched going in to work, underneath, in bonnet and boot and we had to open them, panic amongst women who couldn't open the bonnet!!! We then had to park off camp at one station so park and walk in. And we were not allowed to travel to Ireland. Civilians with relatives in Dublin had to get permission to travel there. Regular security films always being alert was a way of life. It seemed strange when all of a sudden the military were wearing their unform out and about. |

This is only the same as we had to do from the beginning of the 70s through to the nineties. |

On page 2 of today's Daily Mail, our police/armed forces are being warned not to wear uniform when off duty and it took me back. |
