“I wasn’t taking the mickey out of the Salvation Army, honest I wasn’t. I know they’re really wonderful people — wonderful! The things they do! I remember my dad saying — when he was in the RAF he always used the Salvation Army canteen if he could ’cos they put twice as much meat in their sausages as the YMCA.” – Bess in Philip King’s Go Bang Your Tambourine
