      Yeah These CHARACTERS make tours interesting
      They are ALL good but this guy is the best

      Same as on the HMS Victory guided tour, some are dour historic
      others are historic with loads of humour
      The plaque on the Deck "Here Nelson Fell", No the wonder I've tripped over it several time myself
      The PIKES long spears to repel boarders, any member of the ships company who got three on the spike was made a member of the ships darts team

      Hey ho
      I like how this guy puts the gum chewing uniterested youth in his place :-)
