Hello
Just found out about this site.
Served my time with Royal Mail, then moved to Shaw Savill and after their demise moved to Cunard. Got fed up with them and moved to Canada. Worked a few years with RCCL and then needed a break from passenger vessels. Joined V Ships and worked in various types of vessels but found myself back on passenger vessels.
Still enjoy my job but the fun has gone out of it!
I live in Beautiful British Columbia and love it here.

Happy daze John in Oz.
