Nearly fell of my chair when I read David Mitchell selected Safe European Home on his desert island discs but then realised it wasn’t the David Mitchell from peep show and regained by balance. My best friend as a teenage and I took turns to buy Clash albums from our local record shop so we could listen to them all without having to wait too many months in between to save up the money . I was initially disappointed that I drew “give em enough rope” but boy did that one stand the test of time. Great writing as always.
Ha! Imagine. But in a way prob not so far fetched. Glad it resonated and brought on a wave (pun intended) of nostalgia. In early high school friends and I were very much in to punk - but the contemporary versions - skate punk and early emo. But had a geography teacher Mr. Frey who introduced us to and let us play London Calling in class. Will always remember that. Thanks for sharing!

Sailing is a great adventure but home port is a great place to re-charge and plan a new journey. Enjoy your time in port!😉👍🏼
Appreciated Thom. Loving the seafaring analogies. Comforting to be back. Am sure will start day dreaming of afar again soon too though. lol.
Best to you and Joan!
Affirming calm waters and interesting times.😎
