The Inevitable Festive Caption Competition Returns For The Inevitable Round 3..!
Greetings Cap Comp fan! 
And so.....as another year draws to a close and we both reflect on the two fine preceding rounds that saw, yet again, the full might of the collective GRA chuckle bones locked once more in mirthful combat in the noble quest for Greeves related jovial jewels of jocularity, the five of us find ourselves drawn inexorably, like shavings of bronze gearbox bush to a magneto, to this, the inevitable round 3 round, the main event if you will....
So, without further ado, let us begin this final charge down the road to nowhere in the vague hope that it brings forth, once again, some garrulous giggles and loquacious lassitudes, or even just a few good laughs....
For your creative consideration, my fellow humourists, here is an excellent picture of the British Army MCA Team for the 1958 ISDT, comprising from left to right, Doug Theobald, Alex Nicholson, the great Bill Booker and Pat Brittain, legends all, admiring the latest factory weapon Greeves International 2LHK. I really like this shot as I think it shows the sporting good humour that these fine competitors shared in those bygone days, and often something sadly lacking in todays uber 'corporate' events....
To get things rolling, how about;
Bill explains the latest 'works mod'.....
"It looks like a nut, but it's actually a button! The lads in the comp shop thought it up as a way to confuse the other teams in the special tests. Press once for the 'Ice Cream Van' sound, press twice for the 'Air Raid Warning Siren' and press three times for the 'Tannoy Announcement - ALL TEAMS RETURN TO PARC FERME!!'"....!!
Over to you folks, and have fun....
Brian.
