Simon F Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I was wondering what the members of the forum would make of this. This was presented to the Ships coy of HMS Sheffield (a Type 22 frigate Batch 2) by Bassett foods soon after her commission in 1988, as the plaque says it is made entirely of Liquorice Allsorts. It spent all of it's life hanging in the Senior Rates dining hall on the opposite wall to the Queen (God bless her). It wasnt until we were paying her off in 2003 that I managed to persuade the Chief Steward to give me this. As one of the 3 PO Tas's onboard, I had spent many a "scran time" staring at this"thing". The ironic thing is that Liquorice is up there with Gooseberrys and Rhubarb as one of my all time hates. Let me know your thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger-pie Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 (edited) I had spent many a "scran time" staring at this"thing". The ironic thing is that Liquorice is up there with Gooseberrys and Rhubarb as one of my all time hates. Let me know your thoughts I love liquorice, so it probably wouldn't last around my place, probably come home pissed and use it for "emergency drunk rations". A very unusual ships crest, very unique I should think.Don't like rhubarb? I'm sure me mums rhubarb crumble could change your mind.
