They say an Army marches on its stomach, so anyone following UK troop 'movements' will be in for a surprise as the top brass have decided to ditch the dry biscuits and baked beans in favour of high-fibre diet.
It seems the Brits having taken US former secretary of state James Baker at his word - or at least some the words he uttered to the monkey boy himself George Bush when he advised him that the policy for Iraq was 'not a fruit salad to be picked over'.
Clearly confused, British Army chiefs have issued Our Boys with porridge, oatmeal bars and fruit salad in a bid to confound the insurgents.
Guru is not so sure that this will work as squaddies may be forced to leave their posts for enforced 'comfort breaks' brought on by an excess of prune juice.
He would, however, like to formally defend the honour of our chums from Right Down Under by dismissing rumours that this is the only way any Kiwis will ever see active service.
