The Captain was disappointed by the lack of support for the Tug-of-War competition.
So what did the instructions say when running in a new rubber motor again? Was it wind 200 turns first and then 400 next time? Christ, we'll be here all bloody day!

"Is that the office? We're laying a cable down Albert Road, Portsmouth, in an existing duct - we know we're in the right place because we passed the Air Museum a couple of hundred yards back. Well, suddenly a terrific rumbling started under the road and the carrier disappeared from the cable. We really don't know where we're going on this one, and it's making us feel a bit sick."

Ahh, well we cut this line of Latitude when we crossed over it so we need to repair it & put it back again...the charts will be shot to pieces without it.

Prime Minister: "These new carriers must be kept on a short tether. I'm not having any so-called Captain sailing willy-nilly round the place."

In the modern boating pool, there's no more need for the familar cry of "Come in, no. 7, your time is up." In Britian's resorts today, each boat will soon be attached to a rope so it can be pulled back by a team of specially trained boat-pulling athletes.
