    Headlines for this electronic newspaper "Mega tanker docks at Leith"
    Read thinking of a vlcc or ulcc, instead this mega tanker is 79m long and 2404 dwt.
    Ignorance is bliss.

    Whats a couple of hundred thousand tons here or there Vic. No one will notice . Today one has to take most newspaper reports with tongue in cheek. They lost credibility a long time ago . Days of proof readers and such are long gone. Today its who can tell the biggest porkie and get away with it. JS

    Probably sent him across to Bergen from North Shields to Bergen on the Jupiter to gain his experience. Probably got a raspberry from the hailing station wishing him a fond farewell and dont come back as they passed. JS
