Collinsl: Replaced "charge!" with "reveille" - as Johnnie Cope is Reveille. There is no "Charge" tune for the whole of the "Scottish Army" (not that such a force exists as it's part of the British Army) - each regiment having their own Charge (not that many charge)

	The Changing of the Arch-Chancellor's Keys, and the Bursar's ineffectual complaints about it going on under his window has its resonances in other ways in which Tradition allows those of lower rank to tweak the noses of their social superiors. In the Gordon Highlanders, for instance, the pipe band was allowed to sound reveille on Friday mornings to awaken the barracks. Always, without fail, the full pipes and drums would assemble in ''absolute'' silence beneath the windows of the junior officers' quarters, and, at six in the morning, awaken their lieutenants with a shattering rendition of ''"Johnnie Cope"'', the Scottish Army's traditional "~~Charge!~~", from fifteen feet away. Attempts to remonstrate the band were inevitably futile... this was recounted by author George McDonald-Fraser, who served as a subaltern with the Gordons and who is one of Terry's favourite writers.
