Careful readers will have noted that the Senior Service did not participate in the festivities. Manchester does not have a harbour, apparently. Perhaps someone should remind the Royal Navy about the Manchester Ship Canal. HMS Middleton sailed up it on 10 October 2001 and photographic evidence of that great naval event can be seen here. The Manchester Ship Canal people are positively encouraging cruising in bars and other places, as can be read here.

Oh, well, if they recruit enough youngsters younglings, somebody's bound to win a toaster.
