The continuing decline of the Brit military is documented:

British soldiers banned from training for snowy conditions at Norwegian base because health and safety rules deem it too COLD

"A Norwegian officer says the rules have caused 'amusement' among locals."

"Local politician Ida Kathrine Balto said: 'I have to admit I was stunned by the news. I wonder what the British would do if there was a war in winter?'"

... you can't make this stuff up...
