Where were you on your 21st Birthday?

[Gary Worton]

Joined the MV Kirkham Abbey, one of the AHL butter boats which plied between Goole and Copenhagen. Made up for it in wonderful, wonderful Kobenhavn three days later though. Got pissed to the gills and was carried back to the ship by one of the motormen. I puked all down his suit and had to pay for it to be dry-cleaned.

Spent my 21st in Capetown and the lads got me so drunk all I remember is waking up late next to the ugliest looking girl I ever met and with about half hr to get back to the ship before it sailed Regards George in Southampton

George mate, there were some good lookers in Cape Town and there were the fuglys, guess you must have met up with them.

I was on the Medic in Schiedam. Spent the birthday in the Cafe Courzand chatting up a Dutch female. Can't remember if I got lucky.
