Thank you for my recent copy of the November/December issue. My issue relates to the article on page 8: Maritime barometer survey.
Coming straight to the point, I think after reading the feedback from the dumb public that we should rebrand ourselves.
We have – The Ambulance Service
We have – The Police Service
We have – The Fire Brigade Service
We should now have – The Merchant Marine Service!
Perhaps many more of the UK 'numbnuts' would appreciate our critically important contribution to keeping this wee island supplied with everything.
Wishing you a very pleasant festive season - most of the products WE supplied by the way.

Is my maritime pension performing as well as it should?
Nautilus answers a member's query about the now-closed MNOPF pension scheme.
Could Nautilus have done more for members' injured knees?
The Union has done great work over the years, and I was a liaison officer for a long time, but I feel that one big failure has not getting seafarers compensation for damage to their knees.
