and from the top of our road we can eyeball 5 of them on our side over to Babbacombe for the other five, it makes us feel if we live in the paradise.

I was told, less than a 100 are needed for essential maintenance, I can't vouch for the validity of that information as it was a bloke who said he was a crewman.

And there was me thinking 4 or 5 🛳
Captain and crew to man the bridge and make sure the ship doesn't move 24/7. Engineers as the engines are running 24/7 as well, you also need to feed and clean up for all these crew, maintain the fresh water supplies, clean the ship as areas are still being used. Quite a lot of people involved just to keep the ship running and safe.

My ex neighbour is a Safety Officer on one of the Queens. They seem to spend time anchored in Lyme Bay, Weymouth Bay, and Poole Bay. Then back to Southampton to re-fuel, pick up provisions and change crew.

We could go from LN Vs Clifton to track saws Vs table to capitol hill to pandemic response to scrub planes and back to LN Vs Veritas in about 2 pages!!

I agree. Brexiters have won. No need to go on blaming immigrants for everything. I don't suppose Priti Patel would be keen on putting them up in Cruise ships in any case.

you couldnt make it up. they caused the fire and are now complaining about the conditions it caused. perhaps they should have thought about it before starting the fire then.......

Not quite sure you understand the dire circumstances your life needs to be in to be claiming asylum in another country. It only needs a little empathy to have some grasp of how bad life is for some on this planet.

Absolutely. Good luck to the poor sods.

Jacob is quite capable of defending himself, but in the interests of fair play, fh did the first 'politicised' post.
