A Sad Day In Royal Navy History

[swaghauler]

IF my forum friend Ian is actually right, then today is the 50th Aniversary of a truly sad day in the history of the Royal Navy...

August 1st, 1970 marks the final day that British Sailors were issued their daily ration of RUM! That's right men. No more Rum on British warships from the 2nd of August 1970 onwards. No wonder they are facing a Manning Shortage today.

I'm hoisting a glass of Captain Morgan's for all those RN sailors and their missing Rum rations!


Swag.
