    Lady Godiva's on foot

    Glamour girls have marched topless through a city centre to show their support for British troops fighting abroad .

    A dozen women, wearing only tight leather trousers and camouflage body paint across their tops, stunned shoppers, builders and office workers as they paraded in Manchester, inviting crowds of onlookers to drop spare change into plastic buckets to raise cash for British forces.

    The event was organised by artist Fanny Gough, from Worsley, Greater Manchester, as part of a campaign run by Support Our Soldiers (SOS), a charity set up for members of the Armed Forces and their families.

    The group campaigns to get better equipment for British forces and sends shoe box parcels of coffee, tea and chocolate to troops in Afghanistan.

    It has been claimed British forces abroad have had to get second jobs to raise funds to buy their own equipment.

    Sarah Longbottom, a Page 3 girl on Tuesday's march who has a brother serving in the forces, said: "We want to get our lads some decent luxury items, if it means us getting our b00bs out then we are going to do it.

    "We don't want to come across as really really political but on a serious note they are not being looked after so we are here to look after them today."

    The Support Our Soldiers campaign website is at supportoursoldiers.co.uk


    Good for them , but notice ,it says HAVE marched mind there are some apt names amongst them huh , but they should not have had to do it ,and as long as people like these perform these selfless acts , the more the Govt will let them.:(

    There's...really just no other way of putting it I guess.

    Soooooooooooo true C/A or traded with other outfits , thing is the Army encouraged it ,in our mob the issue landyard was a thick orangey one , but woe betide if you wore it , it was off to the PRI and purchase a new slim red one , i know a Sgt in 1 RTR came on parade with his issue one and refused to buy a PRI one , (cant remember his name ) Nuts dya remember him ?? he never did the parade i believe , but technically he was in his rights , but stupid in his stubbornness , now whatever became of him i wonder

    But the MOD should go all out to ensure the best kit is available on active duty :(

    From what I have seen the kit the guys have got now is pretty top notce stuff. They have just been issed with new helmets and body armour. The big things squaddies used to buy was decent footwear, wonder if it is the same today. Anything better than DMS, or Boots Combat High.

    Over the Christmas period the public are asked not to send to much as the Air Force can't cope with demand.
