Our Wives and Sweethearts.

As of tonight, Royal Navy officers will no longer offer the established Saturday night toast of "Our Wives and Sweethearts". This invariably produces the unofficial reply of "May they never meet!"

The new toast will be "Our Families".

I can see the point of this but it's a tradition that's gone back many years.

I agree ....so many of the traditions are being lost.

Grog has a lot to answer to.

How often does something have to be done to make it a tradition?

With so many female officers now....its not really much of a toast is it?

Understand the tradition, but they have to move with the times....

"How often does something have to be done to make it a tradition? "

Our Wives and Sweethearts was probably heard on Victory the night before Trafalgar.

Why not adapt to 'Wives, Husbands & significant others'?

Why not "partners and fuck buddies" ?
