    There has been a thread in The Times re inappropriate use of badges etc 
--prompted I think by  a pompous army officer reprimanding a lady for wearing a 
submariners/dolphin badge? However of all the responses, todays gets the 
biscuit--I reproduce it below:

    After some debate about the use of official badges and pins, it is a relief 
to turn to the Goon Show for some light relief 

    Sir, The correspondence about inappropriate use of badges etc (letters, 
June 14, 16 and 18) calls to mind an exchange in the Goon Show. 


    Eccles: Yeah. Winds light to variable. I'm practicing, you know.
    Greenslade: Don't tell me you're applying for the post of announcer?
    Eccles: Oh, yeah! And I'll get it too, you'll see! I'm wearing a Cambridge 
tie!
    Greenslade: You? You were at Cambridge?
    Eccles: Yeah!
    Greenslade: What were you doing there?
    Eccles: Buying a tie.
