Most 3rd and 2nd Mates called them 'pain in the a**e' bathrooms!
I also did the USA East Coast to South Africa service on Ruddbank - Ellis Rees was Master. On our first run down from USA a domestic water pipe burst over the crew's cabins resulting in a lot of wailing and baling! Thistlebond came into its own that day. I heard that one of the Fish Class on that service had a fire but I know not which one.
