Ah, most of us have probably seen Naked Gun and its curious colonial humour!

I'm not sure just when the Royal Navy started going downhill... 1812? The Washington Conference?

Or when we named a ship HMS Beaver.

As ship names go, it's almost as bad as 'Paris Commune' (the Russians). Okay, appropriate socio-political event, but don't name a ship after it...

Oh... bugger.
