Do they still have / do them?Must be some stories out there,let me set the scene,HMS eagle October 57,ships company 2,500,place ,Vigo Spain, second night in,me wafu,stoker ,rem,killick fishead of some description,think he was a gunner type,there were about half a dozen patrols,local police station,pick up one spanish cop with musket,some sort of machine gun.So we hit the steets about nineteen hundred,all was well as you would expect very quiet,Killick sez ok you nip in there for a pint,in turns , this went on for quite a while,then it was two at a time,i think you can guess where this is going? we all ended up together in a bar pissed as farts including spanish cop,this is where memory begins to go hazy,i can recollect being picked up by a patrol and waking up in cells following morning,after Commanders it was Captains,14 days No nines each,which we thought was very cheap,apart from killick fishead who lost his rate,we had been warned by the jossman to expect 7 days cells,but i think they were too excited about the killick, I wonder if the excuse,we were only obeying orders,would have helped? :roll:
