The story is in full here.
'Army bomb disposal experts have been called in to defuse Christmas crackers.
Hundreds of packages sent from family and friends to soldiers serving abroad have had to be "disabled" because regulations class the snap strip in crackers as an explosive.'
It sounds like the type of story which can enable everyone to have a laugh at the military's expense. But... is the RAF's regulation really that foolish? A full list of the do's and dont's for items sent to BFPO has been posted before but Im happy to post it again here. All this information is available on the BFPO website here.
