    Getting back to Everards in the 50s while still wet behind the ears but not wet enough for Cappys fish. We used to get quite a few from Everards who always reckoned they had done their penance , so assumed they were the jobs offered by the pool when rolling up with a book without the VGs in. Even in the 60s on ore carriers used to get the occasional one sent from the federation with money inside his dis. Book in case needed to be accepted. I used to give them their money back their need was greater than mine. British seamen were never choir boys. And at least a bad discharge gave them the incentive to get a clean one , and stop further penance for longer periods. Shipping like most industries goes by the law of supply and demand. Today there is no supply and demand in shipping it’s take what you can get by whatever means available , I feel sorry for the decline of a once great industry which had such potential . Everards was one of the survivors or if gone by now one of the last to go. JS

    #42 Marian to have Caviar you would have to have the best in white Sauterne . Tom would probably prefer his fish and chips and a bottle of plonk. With a name like she has she must imagine herself as a queen among the mermaids , which brings to mind John in Ozs post about doing away with the word man. Dont mermaids have to have mermen to keep the breed going ? JS

    hi john sabourn
    sauterne, being a desert wine, i would prefer the chablis chilled thankyou, but the only time i have ate caviar was in a hotel/ resturante/bar facing windsor castle some years ago when waiting for my brother to finish his shift as a chef,
    the manager came back absolutely hissed, with a crowd of similar inebriated followers, it turned out to be one of those nights, when the manager told my brother to bring in the beluga caviar and the champagne,we where eating the caviar with table spoons, things went down hill much later, but the caviar was a delight, dont like champagne though.
    i heard later on though that the manager was given the royal boot,

    A good very cold Chardonay or Riesling will go with it also.

    But as to Champagne, had to drink two bottles of the French stuff new years eve.
    Not reccomended if you need to get up early.
    Australia sparkling wine, not allowed to call it Champagne now, is just as good and will give the same size hangover at a lower cost.
    Happy daze John in Oz.
