Please, take a minute reread the complete post.
Pul-leeze, more central canadian arrogance and ignorance. That's why I was happy to leave Canada and move to an area where freedom and liberty aren't silly little catchwords but are practiced every day.

Here's a popular joke from the West Coast:

Question:

How many Toronto electricians does it take to change a light bulb?

Answer:

One. He just stands there and holds it while the Universe revolves around him.

Any time you want to put your knowledge of Canada and Texas up against my knowledge of Canada and Texas, you're on, I'll eat your frikkin' lunch!

I understand that the British permit retired members to continue to wear their uniforms post retirement provided there is the addition of an embroidered "R" patch to the epaulettes or sleeves to indicate the wearer's status. This seems like a good solution to me.

The "R" has always represented officers on the Reserve List, not retired.
