Marconi Sahib made me pay in the coin of the Realm but that Realm was the Holy Roman Empire. Thank goodness GMDSS put an end to that nonsense. OK a few "Old Chaps" fell by the wayside but the rest had to get their lardy arses into a pair of dungarees and turn-to with the men. Did little for their afternoon bronzy but worked wonders for their self esteem.
