Whilst that might have given me some comfort when my younger friends call me 'old man' (every mention of my bus-pass or inability to use welding torch at low level due to 'bad back' producing a giggle and often used "I suppose xxxx wasn't invented in your day"). However Captain 'E' would be alright, but then we don't have them on the professional side of seafaring do we? Perhaps there is a phrase for a defrocked superintendent in command. Probably including "Damned dangerous" or "We're doomed".
If I find the Gripe still tainted with Teepol or Omo I'm going to go for that damned plumber with the double pronged battery tester.
