This post was sent me by an old friend Bob Deakin, before he leaves on his six week cruise to Austalia.
Writes Bob:
The current plight of the Costa Concordia reminds me of a comment made by Churchill.
After his retirement, he was cruising the Mediterranean with an Italian cruise liner.
He was asked by some journalists why an ex British Prime-Minister should choose to sail on an Italian ship so soon after the war.
He replied:
"There are three things that I like about being on Italian Cruise ship.
First, the cuisine is unsurpassed.
Second, the service is impeccable.
Third, in time of emergency, there is none of this nonsense about women and children first!"
Bon Voyage, Bob.
