Hi John S. they wouldnt know what a sou`wester is on those cruise ships. and as for a knife and spike, I would be arrested as an armed terrorist. They would not be able to recognise them.

Hi Cappy the one I have is the one I was issued with at the Vindi 62 years ago. It is the boot of my car with my same oil skin. just in case I break down on the motorway in bad weather.
