    I always thought a berthing master was a male midwife.

    I lived in Karachi for four years and Bombay for four months, driving is an art form more suited to Banger Derbys, traffic lights, if you want to survive, stop at them all regardless of colour

    I Paid off a ship in Suez, and a Taxi to Cairo, He took us through a Minefield, we were screaming. Driver, "No Problem, we all go to Paradise" then in Cairo which is quite chaotic, we went through every Red Light. We were screaming again.
    "No problem , we all go to paradise, " he kept shouting.
    Terrifying journey.
    Cheers
    Brian.

    Must say that I am blessed with a wife who is an excellent driver, parker and reverser, she should have been a car carrier jockey, she'd beat them hands down, her one failing is wondering why all the other cars are going so slow on the motorway, had to get rid of my Subaru Turbo before she lost her licence and then who would drive us home on a Saturday night, certainly couldn't be me.
