Churchill on Itialian Cruise Ships
The current plight of the Costa Concordia reminds us of a comment
made by Churchill.
After his retirement he was cruising the Mediterranean on an Italian
cruise liner and some Italian journalists asked why an ex British
Prime Minister should chose an Italian ship.
"There are three things I like about being on an Italian cruiseship"
said Churchill.
"First their cuisine is unsurpassed.
Second their service is superb.
And then, in time of emergency, there is none of this nonsense about
women and children first".
