When my wife & I hire one of Blakes's finest to go boating on the Broads I wear a nice Captain's cap which looks really smart, with plenty of gold braid. Unfortunately no-one salutes me. Furthermore, I have seen many other Captains on the Broads and no-one salutes them either. Worse, they don't seem to mind! There's just no respect these days. So I have given it up. (Now if those little gift shops would only sell Admiral's hats................)
