I met a man from St Ives once. Think he was having some marriage troubles.

SAS have a couple of them. Allegedly. Those are likely to be US Marines based over here, I see them occasionally around North Wilts and it’s environment, there’s been a huge amount of activity around Westbury where I work, big army trucks, A400 transport planes, big helicopters, last week eight AH-64 gunships went over, and there’s been some fast jet activity as well, I only saw one, but it was either an F-15 Eagle, or one of the Russian lookalikes, a Sukhoi or Mig, possibly the Ukrainians practicing to take back the Crimea...
