Imagine finding a British Beach Bum all that way away!

Wot's that all about anyway, don't you think that the Royal Navy's finest are worthy Romantic figures?
"Such domesticity among men was unknown to the girls, and Fiona said she would marry no man who had not served in the Royal Navy."
20 years on the LFB didn't hurt, either.
He's a great wife, I tell you. Every girl should get one!

As for the Royal Navy's finest, I have a weakness for Lord N... (pity they pickled him in brandy rather than cognac, though - I feel he deserved better!).
By the way, no need to use my title (and curtsey is definitely optional...) - I've gone pleb, dontyaknow....
