Morning men, starboard 10......
This is a true story:
Naval colleague of mine is a navigator on board one of the Type 45 Destroyers, currently. He was on the bridge when the Captain turned to a brand new 'scroat' and asked him the time. This baby sailor fresh from training responded without a second thought and said:
"4pm Sir".
The Captain looked at him sideways and said: "That's not very nautical able seaman smith".
Upon which (and with the same enthusiasm and rapid response) the scroat said: "4pm me hearty!"
The bridge erupted with laughter....................
