De Ja Vu!

There was an arguement between myself (no, honestly!) and someone else about this in relation to the expected repair bills.

When I was once on a ship in Port Louis harbour, Mauritius, we were discharging a Rolls Royce car for the Governor. (Shows how long ago that was) Anyway the sling bust, and the car went for a swim. No one was very pleased about that. :o I believe it was salvaged and returned to the Crewe factory and completely rebuilt.

Traddles,
I’ve been trying to remember the names of the English couple who ran the Merchant Navy Club. Can you help?
I once had a five-day “cruise” in the graving dock there, while the crown gear on the after Voith-Schneider propeller was replaced. It’s a lovely island with great food and gorgeous beaches. The first time I was there, they had just become independent. I’d left San Diego before I got a visa, and had to visit the High Commissioner’s office in Colombo to get one.  Memories.

Hi Marty,
Sorry I'm no help to you here. It was in the 50's when I was there, and I never managed to get ashore. As you guessed the island was still a British colony then. Oh hell, thats half a century ago, makes me feel even older than I am. ::) :(

If the prize was a jar of marmite, then I might have made the effort to guess ;)

Well, that's a matter of opinion :P :D

It is indeed. And as an anti-marmitean, your opinion is not relevant  :o

::) :P  Marmite seems to be infesting the forum......we need a Marmite Moderator to prevent it 'spreading' :D

Well, Marmite is so popular... it is everywhere
