Food is an important part. I guess food does drive your day, so whether you think food is an important part …

Simon 7, 1 and 7.

Absolutely, so you have 4 meals a day, so the Watches are around food. The days are defined by food, by different foods on different days, and it is in my view the one thing that is important on a submarine, is to have good food. And you do.

You do have good food, good choices so yeah, food is a really important, arguably one of the most important people is the supply and the Chef and things like that ‘cos they can make or break a deployment. A good Chef, and most of them are good then that makes a massive difference.

So, I wouldn’t say I was a food addict, but food does drive your day absolutely.
