Nope, it was a definate stuff up.
A few days before the "porridge incident" we were served tv dinner trays full of salad for lunch. Nice and fresh, yes, but it was the middle of winter and absolutely BUCKETING down with rain. The rain was coming down so hard that even on top of the hills there was something like two inches of cold water laying about (sleeping was soooo much fun). The "salad" was mainly lettuce and with the rain so heavy the trays filled up in about 30 seconds. Such an insubstantial and cold meal didn't do much for morale, soaked to the bone, and shivering as we were.

A week later and the place was a dust bowl...
