I remember in Glasgow once, we were all at the Bus Stop waiting for a bus back to the ship when the 5th Engineer said he needed a pee. So off he went behind a tenement block. About five minutes late a Police Jeep pulled out from behind the tenement and drove past with the 5th Engineer in the back. We got the bus back to the ship and the following morning found out he had been having a pee in the dark when he was, in his words, " lit up like Blackpool Lights " in the headlights of the Police Jeep. He was promptly arrested for urinating in a public place, taken back to the Police Station and spent the night in the cells. Went before the Court and was fined £50.

When I was a 16 year old OS I wanted to go ashore with the old Sailors,
I was told,....
If you come ashore with us, , You drink like a Man, you Pay like a man and you ACT LIKE A MAN, or you get the Big Iron Fist.
T was terrified but I did it.
That was the only way to drink. Disciplined drinking.
Obviously the RN guys have no idea how to drink. a load of pansies. who are an embarrassment to our once great nation.

Another nice little run ashore to talk about in the morning lol

there must be a news famine , if sailor has run ashore , get's a belly full of beer is news

No one I ever congregated with in my time in the MN ever behaved in such a manner.

when we went ashore for a beer or four we always made sure that one of us was taking responsibility for his mate.
The result was in most instances we ended up full as boots, fell over without any serious damage to property or to ourselves, only urinated in public when no one was looking.
On occasions there was the need to speak with 'huey' this was always done with the most decorum possible, very often at the nearest lamp post that was any one passing by would see it and be able to avoid.

Getting your mate back to the ship with all his clothes still on was not always easy as often the jacket would be removed, very often in an attempt to engage in physical contact with another person who was also inebriated, a much nicer term than drunk.
Only old ladies and members of the judiciary referred to us in such a manner.

We took our drinking and at times intoxication seriously, not something to be brushed aside lightly, hard earned money was used to engage in this most popular activity.


Morning after's were often discussed at length with various others attempting to piece together the events of the previous evening.

Promises were of course made never to repeat the action, but very often we were lead astray by those who should have known better.
