Anyone else notice the guy in civvies watching the helmsman at 39 seconds ?

Could he have been somebody from the shipyard? Or another possibility, an engineer from Regulateurs Europa, who used to do the bridge to engine room controls - don't ask me how I know that little bit of info!

Chris Tea Blender to Norfolk and by the sounds of it a self practicing surgeon.
Sorry to read of your damage , be no good if you can't make any tea for the guests.
Do you want Matron to come and carry out a sepsis test, she's very good at that ! .

Hope you washed it well with alcohol.
