Yes, like the radar technicians whose first stop was the duty mess for a "full on" breakfast. Banging down my three "dinner" beers (12-4 and standby) at 0810 in Port Elizabeth (I was on the vessel for a double header), first the shocked look on their face that I would have beer for "breakfast", then I said,"Shouldn't you be up on the bridge, working". They shuffled off reluctantly - To do what they were being paid to do! The same Leckie as the egg boiler, later told me that I had been rude. Bluddy cheek!
Rgds.
