I was in Shetland in 2016
Another useless piece of information is where did the word POSH come from
no googling now boys use your imagination
interesting can you enlighten me in code lolOne of the explanations, which may relate to this topic, is actually wrong
(that's) not the explanation i thoughtThe word has nothing to do with maritime terminology.
Most likely, it came from 19th-century argot of London slums, which in turn was borrowed from Gypsy (Romani) slang for 'money'.
I was on a troop ship down the gulf carrying 300 Marines. The sewage system packed up and I had to build a “thunder box†back on the ass end. A thunder box is literally a toilet out on deck that goes directly over the side of the ship. It even had curtains around it for privacy with running water fed from the fire main.So why does one poop at the "head" and not at the poop deck?
No tragedy is so poignant in British naval history as the loss of these two capital ships and so many aboard them. They had been, Churchill wrote, the only weapon in British hands, meaning a weapon of deterrence...
