Orwell buffs may also enjoy 'In Defence of English Cooking'. c.f., for example, 'It is not a law of nature that every restaurant in England should be either foreign or bad'.
Another fancier of Callingham's forgotten jewel, the secretary general of the international maritime organisation, in his 1999 Lloyd's Register lecture quoted this titbit: 'Perhaps the worst plight for a vessel is to be caught in a gale on a lee shore. In this connection the following rules should be observed: 1. Never allow your vessel to be found in such a predicament.'
This article is very much helpful and i hope this will be an useful information for the needed one. Keep on updating these kinds of informative thingsā¦
