Vernon, if you attempted to explain that to the younger generation of today they would think you were having a lend of them.
Anything over about 35 hours a week and they will tell you the boss is a slave driver.

[QUOTE=happy daze john in oz;325959]Dave, like a number on site I did my time as a winger.
Yes tables of ten and two sittings, bloody hard work when we look back. But would we have it any other way, not on your life mate.
Dave what a great read all that have been lucky enough to sail the world will never forget the hard work fun and comradery. i too often think of people, times, and places i sailed into so good some bad and some could not wait to return. your memories of such a great industry will never be forgotten unless you actually sailed the seas you can not know how good it was.
good luck in the future Dave.

Great post (s) Dave - look forward to the next episodes.
Vernon, there are some memories that we cannot post.
If we do there is every chance we may end up in the divorce courts, the criminal courts and a number of other courts.
Then there is the case of alimony payments, child allowance and numerous others.
Apart from that I am sure there are plenty of other tales to tell.
And of course in the case of Cappy there is the question of Mary and that leg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enough said.
Ref 22 welcome to the site Norm, yes, we all love new input to the site, so fire away, all the best kt
Thank you Keith.
I am looking forward to being part of this site ... I do intend to respond to Dave Francis post but at this moment I am a bit pushed for time , but I will get back to it soon.
