That actually reminds me of something awesome. In his book, Eye Of The Storm, which is definitely worth reading, former SAS RSM Peter "Billy" Radcliffe (who actually writes under his own name) tells a story of showing up at the Special Forces Club in London and being denied entry because someone who frequents the place Walts as him.
I can see that happening to you, Mike. "I'm Mike Bobbitt."

I work with quite a few guys that are ex UK Forces and one of them had this dude's photo on Facebook trying to identify the Walt. One look told me that this dude must be a Super Walt because I don't think I have seen so many medals, even on a LoF!
For your viewing pleasure.
He'll be even heavier if he gets the QDJM...... :-X

Methinks if he really WAS in the SAS (as his blazer badge suggests), he'd be more likely to show fewer, not more gongs.

If I recall correctly, that pic was in the "Wearing an ancestor's medals" thread.
This could be an example a relative taking it a bit too far. ( It looks like a Remembrance Day poppy in the top left rack. )
Hard to believe he could be dumb enough to try to pass off so many racks - up and down both sides - as his, in what appears to be a group of veterans. They would know better and confront him. Everyone in the pic seems relaxed.

"Judging by the crest on his blazer, and his beret colour, those worn on the left are his 'as earned/awarded', on the left perhaps his father and grandfather or father-inlaw, as there is 4 sets."

I can't remember which exact thread ( there are 74 pages) but it may be Nov 11th Walt or something like that, or SAS Walt. ( mind there are plenty of those). BTW Strike he's not the King of the Walts. This guy has the honour:
