Lt. Col. Basil Barrow: The way we dance. I'm well aware that you all know the steps, but some, I feel, need reminding that dancing should be considered a social grace - rather than a noisy ritual. Therefore, starting tomorrow, each Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday morning, at 0715 hours, there will be dancing for three quarters of an hour before breakfast. No one will raise his hands above his head except in the foursome reel. No shouting. No swinging on one arm. The Pipe Major will take the parade and you will report dressed as you are now, but with plimsolls on
