Jim, Do you remember him having asthma, If you wanted to keep your listeners in one piece and he was choking for breath he would reach for them bloody big bellows and spray it down his throat you where like a statue in the chair darn,t move it could have been fateful, The bugger would blow his nose and stuff it down your neck to keep the hairs off you, With there not being many chemists around I used to buy my rubbers off him he always had a full jar of them, Happy days Jim Terry.

Jim, Do you remember him having asthma,--Terry.

Did he sell them at three for a shilling Terry? Perhaps that's where the phrases 'three for a bob' and 'jars out' originated.

The Barber was the Bookie where I lived gambling was illegal or not far off it after the war. Other words regarding shipping will not hear now or very rarely are Noon sights, star sights, any number of bells per watch, compass error, deviation, variation, lookout, nautical miles, International Code of Signals. They might be still there but no one talks about. If pass a ship at sea pick up the phone and ask, the same if GPS is bust ask a passing vessel where he's at. Stability criteria if no loadicator just hope there is someone who can remember how to do. As regards money abroad and everyone looking for the US dollar, how does the EU money compare for those still at sea?? As most know there used to be 1000 Japanese yen to the pound, a big bottle of Asahi beer was 200 yen in the girlie bars, a lot cheaper in the jap bars, how does this compare now?? Another word soon to relegated to the scrap heap is fathom, and chain, think furlongs went out a long time ago. Shipboard titles like Chief Steward are now most generally known as catering manager. Did any of these changes do any good?? they will of course be all changed once again in the not too far distant future. JS

HI All.
Trim the Vents, tighten that turnbuckle, dog the door down, let go aft, hold onto that backspring, haul on that guy rope, drop the pilot ladder over, haul down the Blue Peter, dip the ensign, clew up the gear.
And many many more I will never hear shouted out again, unless when I'm lazy getting out of bed and my wife shouts," Are you getting out or do you want me to open the porthole wide there's a thick frost out there!.
Cheers Des
