Shipwrecks' Honour Impugned!
Not mentioned in the recent sober account of the Midweek League AGM was the fact that Treasurer Everett Jeffrey (ironically himself a Shipwreck) repeatedly accused the seafarers of not having paid their League subscription for the past two years and described them as "bad debtors".
Shipwrecks' Purser Geoff Dean has however issued an angry communiqué to state that all appropriate charges (including harbour fees) have been paid up in full.
Part of the ensuing diplomatic row may be based on a misunderstanding in that the Shipwrecks, understandably aware of the risky nature of maritime trade, have historically paid the League in arrears, and then only on sight of a full and accurate bill of lading. But there remains a clear factual dispute over the payments made over the past ten months and only one way in which our honour can be satisfied - flintlocks at ten paces.

Perhaps unsurprisingly Skipper Dean has now received an abject apology from the League's Paymaster General complaining of signalling delays, etc.
ReplyDeleteAs our name has been dragged through the harbour mud, this matter has been referred to our solicitors Messrs Jones, Davy and Neptune, who are considering further action.
