    You should have knocked it a bit further then called it the Tropic of Capricorn. You would probably have kept the passengers happy. Hope you didnt damage the Date Line when you were out East. Cheers John Sabourn

    I thought the International Date Line was a premium rate special phone in site to talk intimately to Filipina and other Asiatic young girls...Razz.gif

    On the Queen Mary 2 an American woman asked me which of the elevators took her to the front of the ship.
    and on the Maiden Voyage from Southampton ENGLAND, another American lady said "Where ya all from"? I said `England` "and where is that ?" she said.
    We had just sailed from England, she had travelled to England to join the ship.

    Sometimes we just act as a magnet and attract them.

    While on board the Windsor Castle, I was a Tourist class winger, a Female Affrikans punter had travelled the world by First class, but from Southampton to Cape Town on this voyage she could not get a First class berth so had to travel Tourist, and she let everyone know it.
    She wanted 1st class silver service, and demanded individual coffee pots, this was not available in Tourist, I approached our Head waiter ( A nice Dutchman cannot remember his name), he told me to give her the usual coffee pots we used, they held approx 10 cups each, and he empathized that I filled them to the brim, as a result the punter could not handle a hot silver coffee pot and it went all over the table, the other punters laughed out loud, and she never asked for individual service again, I had to strip the whole table in a rush for 2nd sitting but it was worth it.
