No Rob that was the (Hons) part of the degree, I failed that
But I did get a mention in despatches, when the C/O told me to windy hammer outside the C/stewards cabin, I thought he meant the bulkhead and not the deck! could have been a case of mis-hearing because the new C/S wouldn't give us beers and log them in our slop account as lemonades, also forgot to close his porthole on the morning washdown, we got our men's lemonades back. The C/O knew we were getting beers and not lemonades and had no objection, but it couldn't be shown in the accounts
