Not Posh Enough

John the Don, the Bender Squads very own blond bombshell, has finally laid his cards on the table on what he thinks of our social standing. For the last few months he had the great idea for his 70th birthday, of hiring a trio of gulets ( a kind of basic yacht) to sail us along the coast of Turkey in four years time. We all loved the plan, it looked the dog bollox, and although it was a bit pricey, we had plenty of time to save up some brass for a most excellent adventure. But the Don started to look a bit worried when the subject of going as pirates was broached. Slowly he began to make noises about an alternate plan to go on a cruise instead. I pointed out that I was way to young to be chasing bored pensioners around the shuffleboard court. I told him that if he thought we were a bunch of scuffers he should just say so, but he demurred, and said we should go with the gulets. Till I was gone that is, and he has now said that he doesn't think were suitable for the cooler trip, and he wants to do a cruise instead. Wait till I see the old duffer....
