You don't need to worry about that as there are more than enough armchair marine experts already looking into all of this :sarcasm:

One of those ropes failed at the ships end, I hope there was no one in the hauser store when that happened.

Talk about bad reporting. This picture is on the Daily Mirror website with the caption "Passengers on the Britannia cruise ship were in floods of tears after the storm hit".

That is most definitely not anywhere on board Britannia!
It’s the Mirror.,

The article also states a Labour MP said “ This shows more mis-management by this Tory government “

About as reliable as the weather.

They can't even get right if it's a ferry or a cruise ship. The image is a bit of a giveaway :roll:

How do these people get these jobs, via a fruit machine.

Careful Stephen, you may have to explain to them what a fruit machine is.
Don't worry, be happy

they are now complaining about the hotels they've been parked in.

But finding accommodation for 321 peeps in season - and of a decent standard must be an impossible task - specially when the passengers will compare with what they' left behind onboard
