In Germany we had the LED - "Light Eating Detatchment" - our REME blokes didn't always seem to be 100% battle ready! I presume that's what LAD stands for, Light Aid Detatchment? If not, then I've just waffled on for two sentences!

Our LAD were brill at ar**ing us about with wagon checks - I spent the better part of my time in Germany under landrovers cleaning those bloody iron things they laughingly called springs!
