“One private from the Parachute Regiment had passed Nobby every morning on his way from the married quarters. ‘Morning, sir!’ he would say. One day Nobby stopped him. ‘No need to keep calling me “sir” when we see each other every day,’ he told him. ‘My name’s Nobby.’ The following day the soldier passed the RSM as usual. ‘Morning, Nobby,’ he said. ‘You’re under arrest for insubordination!’ said Mr Arnold.”
