Can't deny that's funny.
I free lanced long ago, and insisted only British Flag ships. So they sent me out to the Naess Endeavour in Curacao. As the taxi driver pulled onto the quay alongside a tanker called the Burmah Cameo registered in Monrovia I told him: "No, my ship is the Naess Endeavour."
"That was yesterday" he replied.
I got out and climbed the gangway with resignation.
