When walking home from a night on the beer, youths who can’t take their beer often become full of bravado and are often prone to yob like behaviour and shout at passersbys particularly if they seem old and harmless. Such a gang of drunken youths made a mistake with the crew and in particular a mistake with Phil.
One hearing a stream of abuse, Phil approached a group of about seven youths who were sat outside and were obviously drunk and had probably also been on the dope as well.
One of the youths called Dicky passed some remark to Phil, and then threw his neck around Phil’s hands and Phil said “I think you’re too young to die” and the spotty youth slumped on the floor. The second youth then threw his arms towards Phil but ended up half way up his back in a micro-second to be told “Pick a window sunshine you’re going through it”.” No, no, no mate we were only joking”,” And so was I” said the Captain “Pick a passing a car and I’ll throw you under it” .The First Mate had diffused the situation by the threat of acts of gross violence. The Captain shouted “I had the big one covered Phil”,” and “I had those bitches of girls covered just in case they attacked you with their hand bags “echoed Billy the Cabin Boy”.
