Re: Opportunities for new qualified UK Deck Officers
Colin that's because Brian took his custom elsewhere. Is Uncle Toms Cabin still open. Don't suppose you knew my cousin Albert Kempster used to live in one of the flats at the top of Howard Street, was second Engineer with Palm line for years, used his middle name at sea Tommy Kempster. Was drowned off sheerness about 1980 coming back to the ship. Cheers JS

John, Afraid I don't know your cousin, Uncle Toms Cabin is long gone, replaced by shops. Charley Browns is still going strong.

Re: Opportunities for new qualified UK Deck Officers
Sold out to my mate DT cappy he promised to have all the girls see a doctor, especially your favourite, thought I'd let you know in case you get any mail in the coming weeks from Osaka. Cheers DT stands for Donald Trump by the way so am hoping some of his wealth rubs off on me. Auf Weidersen, theres me thinking of Germany again. Sayonara or something like that JS
