The Hong Kong piccie is NOT a fake...I remember when it first appeared in newspapers back in 1997...I happened to "meet up" with a corporal in the Black Watch on line and he verified everything.

Cheers,

Doesn't seem to matter how calm or windy it is either. If the wind is blowing from the south and you are standing on the north side when the wind whips aroud the building where they meet there will be a conflict of direction. That's why when are walking you can be getting hit in the back, but by the time you get to the other side it is blowing in your face.

The Monument is in Hong Kong's Central District which is also kown as the financial district.

To the East, there is a tall hotel.

TO the West, there is another tall hotel.

To the North, there is a Very busy street with 6 lanes of traffic, with 1 52 storey buliding and the Hong Kong City Hall.

To the South, there is a 77 Storey bulding and a busy 4 lane street.

The colonel-a pity: but it is my guess that everyone who wears the kilt on a regular basis has at some time or another had such an 'oops' moment.

I know I have, if only because a kind 'friend' has had the 'goodness' to point out that all was not well.

So my sympathy goes out to the officer in question-for his unfortunate moment will give the army as a whole a great laugh.
