Iv'e just been called a Clippy, I don't know if I should be offended or not?
First, for those who haven't done an image search the photo:
Thank you to Nutty for his kind words.
Special mentions to
MPN - "Sir, shouldn't the White Ensgign be flown at the stern?", "Don't worry, lad ... we'll drive it in reverse on the Parade." - apparently it could only go astern.
Big Pistons - No son you don’t get sea duty allowance on this posting,
Nutty - Sir, I am posted to Africa, I cannot wait to see what type of land ships they have there, I have been told I am going to be on ships of the desert
Treaders - Permission to come aboard Sir... , Permission granted. Ninepence please...

CST is on its way as soon as the stokers have got the steam pressure up for the catapult.
PM sent as the bulb's gone in the Aldis lamp.
