CSM dobbing on Capt makes it to Newspaper

[RedTBar]

He was, after all, paid a double allowance for dinner on Christmas Day.

Another little subtle shot of jealousy at crew who have the unfortunate duty of working during Christmas day and not at home but a long way from home and family.
What Ken and others in the office won't tell you is that a lot of hotels charge a lot more for restaurant meals on Christmas day so as to pay christmas wages for their staff.So the double allowances for crew on Christmas day is for that very reason.It's not so that crew can make some money on the side.

If every Captain and Manager 'shouted' drinks at Company expense over the Chritsmas period, the bill would be enormous.

I agree that stealing is wrong but Ken have you ever made a private phone call from one of the company phones in the office or has anyone else working on christmas day had a drink on the company?
No that would never happen would it ken?
Crew are easy targets because of simple jealousy.
