SCRUBBED OFF?

One of the bad things that may happen as a result of the Army moving Barracks is that they may stop playing their games on Wormwood Scrubs and the land would then be considered 'vacant', sold off and built upon. Oh, and Horse lovers will miss the tradition of watching the passing parade of big proud war Horses.
Its not the Army I would miss so much as what would happen to that rare unspoilt open land we have in the (near) middle of London should they go.
Mind you my mate used to let his son go over there to play during the School holidays until one day his son came home with a hand full of live Bullets, "where did you get them?" my horrified mate asked, "they were just laying all over the grass" was the reply, so my mate went over to the Scrubs to where his son said he found the Bullets he and found loads more live ones.

"its one of the last unspoilt areas in Greater London don't you know"

Having been through the Army Cadets he was familiar with live rounds and, worried, he Telephoned the Police, "not our problem mate, its M.O.D land, nothing we can do" replied the Police simply, despite knowing live Bullets were laying around waiting to be picked up by anyone but they could do nothing about it.

So he next phoned the Army and told them, they just told my mate "well, you know the Army use the land, if your worried dont use the Scrubs anymore, goodbye", that was it.
My mate did learn that had his son or anyone else accidently set a bullet off and shot themselves or someone else then it was too bad, being 'Army land' any accident involving stray military death objects was the fault of the victims for not being careful enough. Just knowing that the Army practices there justifies calls for Military innocence in any accident to the law and satisifies them about the cause of any death there by military object or missile, big or small. Its the publics fault.
I.e, its not their problem!
