Cut Price Cruisers

[Jim Brady]

Bill,with respect, I think most on here knew what I meant and possibly I did take exception to being corrected by you.Had it been a lesser mortal who corrected me I would've accepted it jokingly!!!
Regards.

In this day of P.C. and all its implications,I feel you are being a bit picky to keel haul another shipmate re.Spelling mistake.Or is this just me,not getting it!! It dont matter,we know the ships that carry PAX,anyway.Best Regards. Bill Seddon.

Sometimes it is a slip of the `fginger` on the keyboard. Ones finger sometimes cover two keys..
"cruisers" the e and r are next to each other, so the finger overlaps from the `e` to include the `r`hence `cruisers` instead of `cruises`
Hope this solves the problem.
Cheers

They way I understood it the bilge cleaners would service the engine room guys for a consideration to Mamma San , and Like Tesco's you got a dose and got an extra one free , Never tried it my self Tony , but I was assured that it was a small sum of cash , Dhobie Powder , lux soap etc .

Dhobi dust went further than the makers intentions, little did they know. ha ha,

I don't think Bill had any intention of correcting your spelling (or typo) he was I think, having a bit of fun on a play of words, with your title referring to "cut price cruisers", as in some parts of the world prostitutes are known as cruisers, (in the USA the clients' are also known as cruisers) so lets take it as the joke it was intended, because I don't think anyone on this site corrects other peoples spelling, as most are a slip of the digit on the keyboard of which we are all guilty, knowing that we've done it but cannot go to the bother of correcting it, because when we try the whole message disappears into the ether or so it seems.

So its back to the bar lads and have another drink! and if we do make a typo which could throw a different aspect on the subject matter then we can expect someone to make a comment on it, and the comment would have no malice in its content, but would be considered messroom banter (I hope!)

You may have been a plateman but all jobs at sea are equal and all of importance, don't put yourself down Jim you are better than that.
