New recruits now know your knots!

Time for starboard side to be painted on the George Johannes.....
seems there are some new recruits aboard the Ivan Ellen, literally 'learning the ropes', an old seafaring term, which is where many common sayings in the English language have originated from, indicating the importance of our maritime heritage and dependency on the sea as an island nation.......

something Tory leader, David Cameron may be minded of when he talks with local fishermen later today. As the party that negotiated the original terms of the CFP (Common Fisheries Policy) under the Heath Government years ago, the Tories have a legacy that is hard to live down, as many would say that the CFP and the ensuing nonsensical, unworkable and entirely in-effective quota system have beem major contributors to the plight that many fishermen find themselves in today - he may be in for a rough ride from his select audience!
