Don't forget our sailors! Best drunken sailors in the world,or at least they were up until 1970.

,Does the British Navy still have rum rations?? If they do I sure hope it's not Captain Morgan for their sake. Ugh.

No,it was ended in 1970.Apparently they were concerned about sailors being under the influence of alchohol and operating heavy machinery. I mean it was good enough to rule the world at one stage but whatever

LOL Chucky. Just be glad none of that politcal correctness nonsense existed during Nelson's time. The Royal Navy might not have won at Trafalgar! The battle would have ended before it began. It would have started out with "England expects every man, woman, child, apache attack helicopter (very prescient that one), trans....ect" and there'd be so much bickering about what to add, what's acceptable and what order to list them, the French and Spanish would have just annihilated them. That is assuming the French and Spanish weren't afflicted by the same.
