Roger The Cabin Boy

Ahhhh… how Captain Pugwash never fails to amuse me. Speaking of which in the Metro this morning there was this rather amusing article about a billboard advertising Portsmouth Dockyard.

It goes to show just how wrong you can go in advertising! Anyway, here’s the article…

Royal Navy tourism bosses have been forced to remove a billboard - after sniggers that it appeared to show two sailors doing something a bit rude.

The billboard, advertising tours of Portsmouth Dockyard, has a photo portraying the heat of battle in Nelson’s day.

But drivers passing it in Winchester, Hampshire, thought of a much naughtier alternative.

A dockyard spokesman said: ‘It was put up in all innocence and no one here realised what it looked like until it was pointed out to us.’
