Amazing. And I read they also have more Generals than tanks. Their forces are only a bare shell of what we all remember from the 80s.

A perfect song considering the title of the album

I have taken up the challenge. 2011 data:

British Brigadiers and Generals: 256
British tanks: 200

Consider this also. If Britain would just increase their number of generals by 50% while decreasing their number of tanks by 50%, they could field a tank force crewed entirely by generals.
