Yes Alf and in our time I am sure we have all laid a few misses and no doubt a few Mrs as well.

it is just a shame that our part in the history of the sea will never come back? some on here might know some when in younger days listening to men who sailed on sailing ships and the tails that they gave out to some visitors the site would be better if some maybe there are some who never had the chance we had but they could ask about the way of life that their fathers granddads had so come on visitors ask and members would only be to helpful to answer? apart from the odd tail yarn or downright lie they might get but who cares it makes for good reading anyway??jp

Sobering

No one has been able to explain to me why young men and women serve in the British Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and only get 50% of their pay on retirement, while Politicians hold their political positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by these same men and women, and receive full-pay retirement after serving one term.

This is the same in Canada , the US and Australia ... It just does not make any sense.

If each person who receives this will forward it on to 20 people, then in three days, most people in the U.K. , Canada , United States and AUSTRALIA will have the message.

This is one proposal that really should be passed around... I passed it on, will you ? "If you choose not to pass it on, you still have made a choice," and these brave soldiers have given you that right !
