Ladybirder's Query Regarding Andy Hughes's Cruise

[andy-hughes]

Hi Ladybirder,

Thanks for your kind interest.

I completed my cruise and my four Talks, at the weekend.

I am delighted to advise that they were very well received, and I am awaiting feedback fro the company, and hopefully some more assignments!

The P & O luxury cruise liner Britannia.

I do know what you meant btw, I was being puckish.

[ladybirder]

Did you talk about music AH?

ladybirder - // Did you talk about music AH? //

I did - the cruise was a 'staycation', arranged when Covid restrictions prevented international travel for the ships.

The cruise was from Southampton to Liverpool and back - just six days, so they asked for Speakers to offer a series of four Talks - plus one 'emergency' in case they were unable to dock in Liverpool, with a 'Liverpool' theme.

I offered 'The Beatles', 'Merseybeat', 'Cilla Black' and 'The Influence of Liverpool's music beyond the sixties in the North West' and I was successful.

I saw the Britannia when it was docked in Liverpool the other week. Nice looking ship

[royfromaus]

Don't take your kids on it...they will be bored.

[andy-hughes]

It's a bit late now Roy!

I once met Larry Hagman. He enjoyed his retirement giving talks on cruise ships.

[DTCwordfan]

I met him in a Houston major Wells Fargo bank - quite charming that he was.

Was everyone ok with your accent Andy? Did anyone ask for clarification at all?
