    Unsurprisingly, as a Portsmouth Man, I used to be tour guide on H.M.S. Victory.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Trafalgar

    29-0 to the English in 1805 against the combined French and Spanish fleet. Good result.

    All went horribly wrong subsequently. Awful storm blew up later and killed nearly everybody.

    The man who came out of it with credit was not Lord Nelson. It was a Frenchman, Captain Lucas of the Redoutable. Suffered from Captaining a 3 decker against the 3.5 deckers of the Victory and the Temeraire. A close run thing.

    He was always welcomed in England. A True Hero.

    Lol - I've taken your advice, guys, and will leave her to it for a week, to see what happens and what state her room gets in, or if things improve! Any bets?

    I reckon you'll be digging out that box of matches Marco!
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
