Message: [QUOTE="Arun Vajpey, post: 447624, member: 146608"] [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]I bought and read the Kindle edition (much to my own chagrin) of [I]The Ice Punch [/I]since it was the only version available in India. Well written and interesting but Brian Duncan only makes a passing mention of the Jimmy Wilde angle. I have messaged the author about it as well as the gym use; in the book, Duncan also does not believe that the boys could have had that facility. Apart from the £16 cost for each of their tickets (very high for a single Third Class passage), David Bowen reportedly promised Charlie Barnett that they would make good use of the gym on board just before boarding in Southampton. That might just have been wishful thinking or a false belief on Bowen's part but there does exist a small possibility that Dean & Dawson, their travel agents, worked out something with White Star. I have asked Duncan about that issue as well and will post here after he replies.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
