On one ship we had 2 lots of Chogeys. One in the laundry and another couple set up a Jewing shop turning out No1s, 2s, 8s, boxer shorts, excellent tropical rig and custom made civvy suits, shirts etc. I remember getting a 'tiddly No1 suit' made out of lightweight barathea. No zip, button flap 32" bells with lead shot in the hem. Zipless jumper with low cut front. 2 white fronts, 1 collar, one silk and tapes for £40.
Quite the little Jackmedhobeybucket.
Number 1 dhobeyman died on that deployment. Spent 2 months in the freezers before we got him back to Guzz.
