WRVS/NAAFI
The Women's Royal Volunteer Service and the Navy, Army and Air Force Institute. Both organisations that serve food to the forces.
Both feature in British war movies as the habitat of homely women who dispensed the original 'Tea and Sympathy'
Devastatingly handsome young pilot in crumpled blues sits, head in hands over a large mug and two slices.
A homely woman enters with a large teapot.
Homely Woman: Cheer up dear, it may never happen
Handsome Young Pilot: I'm afraid I lost all my crew over the Ruhr
HW: Oh well, dear. Worse things happen at sea.
HYP: ...and my fiancee's ship was just torpedoed off Rockall and has gone down with all hands.
HW: Well, we've got to keep a stiff upper lip, havent we?
HYP: I lost my lips when my crate caught fire over Dresden.
HW: Here you are dear, have a nice cup of tea.
