@marathon0 A reasonable analysis. The UK does not spend enough to have ‘good’ stockpiles of useable weaponry. The number of rounds of ammunition spent in a single action can now exceed the logistics of supply.
@AmpBenzScientist You have my extreme sympathy. the disabling permanent effect is noticeable in some folk in our village. It hampers their social and family life to an extent beyond what they expected.
@phocks Regrettably, then there would be no income to government to provide services to anyone. No cash to governments means no services to anyone.
After 2.8 years our street now has 4 cases of Covid-19. (one to a person shielding due to high risk prior disease) Folk seem to have forgotten it still exists, spreads more easily even if it does not kill as treatment is better.

@arteteco Enjoy the thrill. After this you 'just join' the normality of graduates. And start again in the big race to succeed or be competent with satisfaction in what you do.
PS A grand pat on the back from a very old graduate from the last century. You live in much more difficult times, and I wish you good health, and contentment.
The later "contentment" being the hardest to achieve.
