I've been serving my country for 44 years. What was your position before this one, sir, eh?
B.B.C. Official:
A lawyer.
Clive Candy:
A lawyer? Well, I was a soldier. And before that I suppose you were at college, and I was a soldier. And I was a soldier when you were a baby. And before you were born, sir, when you were nothing but a toss-up between a girl's and a boy's name, I was a soldier then.
