MFI is the British equivalent of IKEA. The sailors could have allowed themselves to be tortured just a little to spare their blushes. Look at the tortures James Bond (a Navy man himself) has had to endure for his country. The navy is getting really wimpy now - the senoir citizens' service, more like. {translation for foreign readers: The Royal Navy is known as the "Senior Service"}. Squaddies get the job done; the RAF would have swallowed cyanide capsules. The Jack Tars let the nation and Tony Blair down - especially his wife Cherry.
