Hi Brian, do you remember "Spud Murphey" on Oronsay ?
He was an AB, and really helped me when I was a Deck boy & JOS on Oronsay in 1963.
A really nice man.

Graham as daft as this sounds did Spud Murphey live and sail out of Liverpool, ? Terry.

Hi Terry
Sorry no , he lived with his sister in Charlton SE London.
A bit stupid of me because there must be thousands of "Spud Murphey's" in the Merchant and Royal Navies, seems Murphey's automatic nickname was "Spud"
A bit like my surname "Payne" nickname usually "Whacker" most used by Liverpool men. No idea why as I was very genteel. Believe that or not, (as a kid I was a Toe Rag from SE London).
"Nicknames", could be a good starter thread from someone a bit more educated than me.
