Hello everyone, I've just finished 30 years at sea,and decided its time I spent every night in my pit , tucked up in the lee of that well known island!
I have recently been on EBAY and found all sorts of interesting gear on there under Merchant Navy ,Model Ships, Merchant Navy Badges etc.
Its worth a look ,but its sad to see the occasional MN WW1 and WW2 medals up for sale ..does seem our Island nation has forgotten how important its Merchant Fleet is these days .
Anyway I'm sporting a great new Merchant Navy embroidered Badge on my fleece ,it cost me £4.99 on ebay and I'm very proud to wear it we deserve more recognition don't you think? (Applause)
