How did you pay?
Back in 1965 or so, if I had any money (Ha ha, Blue Funnel Midshipman) I could write a cheque and pay someone in Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok and so on, never a query or a problem. Back at home, No-one would take a cheque unless they knew your parents and could see your Rolls parked outside. We could get currency on board and that went on your end of voyage accounting. How did it all work and was I lucky?
