Description:
Bearing in mind that I am the author you may consider it to be a tad unreliable. I do, however, consider this book to be full of Naval humour which is entirely based upon truth and the way that life was in the 1950s. Todays youth would find it very hard to believe because they have been cloaked in cotton wool...furthermore, they may find the humour rather difficult to understand because it doesn't figure on Face Book etc. It had many good reviews during it's short life of publication before the crooked publisher went broke. So that's why I'm giving the Worlds public one more chance!
