    Default Good times

    About twenty nine years off and on.Memnon was OK but,as an orofice,got fed up with the bullcrap and uniforms,no dirty mess and daily,except sunday,old man's inspections.You had to be out of bed and in full uniform regardless of what watch you were on.They also had an inspection,by office wallahs prior to sailing.Moved on to Mobil-what a culture shock!Alan

    Andy,
    Please remember that all of the pictures in that book are the property of John Clarkson and are subject to copyright.
    I mention this because I have been reminded of this by them for having one of their pictures on my website in the past.
