Hi de poar.
I sailed on the "Envoy",when she was named the
British Envoy,this was back in the 50s the same as
yourself,from 9/5/54 until 4/8/54.I have photo's
of here as the "Clyde" and the "British".If you would
like a copy me have your E.Mail address.

Hi John.
Didnt I tell you,Toblerone were not shaped like
that to fit into any tin.The reason they are that
shape,is for them to fit into the bloody boxes!!!!
