In the dark grey waters MAN's North Atlantic Convoy has been steaming ahead at full speed. And now, having lost its escort of favourable exchange rates and super-cheap oil, faces the pincer-like threat of Brexit icebergs and Trump U-Boats. Its precious cargo of tourist Pounds sinking to the sea floor in the East by West tempest of the Dollar and Euro. Did we hear a shout from the bridge 'Full Astern, Mr. Branson!'. 'Bring her about, Mr. Parker'. If so, who will presently have the courage to fire a broadside into this shifting flotilla? Or will the guns fall silent, saving their powder for battles farther afield. A minefield perhaps lies ahead, but MAN's convoy is now of such number that a good many will make it through to port. Steady as she goes.
