On the Ark Royal, they were building, and the Met Officer came down.

He said, “I’ve got all these gadgets in here but what I would like is a port hole so I could see what the weather’s like.”

Storky said to him. “I’ll put bloody nail over it and hang some seaweed on it if you’d like.” (laughs)

He didn’t get his window.
