Ever tried the WhatsApp contact with @SouthWestWater ? I wouldn’t bother. It seems to rely on A. (That’s AI without the Intelligence bit.) Been trying to get them to fix a leak for 2 years now. It’s just getting worse. Next they’ll tell me not to use a hose pipe! Yeah right. 👍
So who was the second submarine commander to sink the German cruiser Hela? 😉 Maybe you mean she was the first German warship sunk by an RN Submarine in WW1.

Today is an unforgettable one for me. OTD in 1982 I arrived in the TEZ, HMS Coventry was sunk and I was later to learn my oppo AB(EW) Adrian Sunderland was KIA onboard. MV Atlantic Conveyor was also sunk. RIP. It was Argentina’s National Day and OTD I also got married.
