In many places this book is only comprehendible by those with a working knowledge of 'slanguage' (Royal Navy slang) It's a collation of stories (some of them even true) jokes and anecdotes covering the very colourful and long history of the doings and events in HM Royal Navy.
Regarding Political Correctness, this book falls (happily) well short, if the definition is expressed as 'The avoidance of forms of expression that could be perceived to marginalise or insult people who are different, disadvantaged or discriminated against'

Indeed, quite the opposite occurs here, where 'Jack' in his wisdom seeks every opportunity to highlight differences, oddities, abnormalities and strange traits and even speech patterns, of any and every individual.

Most of which once was normal and everyday banter, but latterly has become offensive and deemed to be denting someone else's over-inflated self-opinion and in many cases, incredibly, has even become a crime.

People with thin skins or delicate dispositions should avoid this publication.

Mostly It's amusing, in a few cases educational and not one to be read from cover to cover - more of a dip-in and find something memorable type of reading. ( )
