No no, that's 2 triple admirals, lovely in white.

 

I hope there's a team on stand by to spread out starched/perfectly folded brilliant white handkerchiefs on their chairs before they sit down.

I can't speak for others but that's exactly how it appears to me.

 

It won't be any of those leading officers who will be doing any of this anyway.

'no fraternizing with the locals'

 

If I come through this route my wife may join me so there's never going to be any fraternising with the locals. Well not the female ones under 40 which is who I assume you were referring to.  ????

I'm sure I read that entry points for water based entry aren't ready yet.  I'm not sure if that's due to lack of thought or a possible easy entry for VIPs.

If only they had sorted it before the horse bolted.

 

[Stargeezr]

Do they still shut down the bridges at night, due to staff need their sleep?

  Just wondering.
