I had a moment earlier. I returned to my cabin and couldn't get in. The electronic card had failed. The steward helped me in and said the card needed realigning. I had to take it to the pursers office.
Off I went. When David lost his card once he was issued with two, one for him and one for me!
I explained the situation to the young lady and she said it was no problem. I asked if my husband would need a different card.
She looked at my card and said
" Oh look, you've got your husband's card"
I said it was my card. She sighed. I was obviously sub normal.
"Look it says Rev....it's your husbands card."
"That is me actually" I said.
A look of horror arrived on her face....I was wearing a sun top.
"You are? They let you do that in your country?"
"They do!"
"And you are married......". This last was a sentence of such horror that I cut my losses, took the adjusted card and ran.
She has clearly led a very sheltered life bless her.

Lovely, enlightened reaction. Is she related to Lord Carey by any chance? :)
UKV. To be fair to Lord Carey, it was during his watch as ABC that the legislation enabling ordination to the priesthood was passed and he had been a long-time supporter and advocate in circles where that was not always welcomed.
