    Gulliver you don’t have to proof (prove to anyone) that you can read. Now if you had missed the r out of the first one we could have gone back to poof the magic dragon. The magic greenie. A lot of that Wikipedia is incorrect, have found things with wrong dates on and times etc etc. They would have trouble keeping the old movement book going into or out of port. Cheers JS.

    Nevermind the movement book gone I've had trouble Keeping Up With The Telegraph with one particular captain who used to reverse up to the linkspan ramp in Guernsey you could get five movement on the Telegraph before you could do one engine movement . When we went to bridge control ships nobody told him that the little Stick was not like a Telegraph to rattle it was actually connected to the engine and the prop

    I bet the Royal Navy will do a superb job at the trooping
    of the colour,but I will miss all the pomp and colours that
    the army provides.
