Most probably the RNR lads still miss the size of the "Tons" and the comradeship that the larger Crew can give when away on their Weekends and Fortnight "Cruises" although if I remember correctly those going to foreign parts instead of Berwick still had to drop into "Vernon" for debriefing and where Customs would do what you would call a "selective" Rummage.
Certainly RN Crews could get through complete China Teasets from France when I was with the Red "V"
