[QUOTE="Bob Godfrey, post: 276344, member: 136612"] Maybe not an April Fool joke as such, but certainly a work of fiction, probably written by T Walter Williams, a shipping news reporter who occasionally provided The Times with fanciful items like this. Such pieces generally included reference to characters of his own invention like the old watchman Ben Fidd, one of the regulars. Yes, indeed, after 76 years 'Gangplank Willy' has stitched you up like a kipper, Mark! I leave it to an old seadog like Noel to tell you what a fid was. . [/QUOTE]
