Brass fittings are good for your health

...especially if you had a bout of "Thames Tummy":

It's common sense as boats where copper-clad for centuries to avoid God's little creatures from hitching a free ride on your hull.

A slight concern is that our stainless steel bling is a breeding ground for superbugs.

Pity they hadn't thought about fitting Brass bling to the Oriana

Mind I'd rather be on the Oriana than a 16' canoe with Thames Tummy.

Ah such sweet memories.
