The Plymouth Brethren manage to fish on the high seas doing all the jobs
on board (and on land) required for that. Their restrictions tend to be
confined to what would be broadly called leisure activities. Since Adam
seems to complain most about his 'lads' not concentrating on their work,
is this a bad thing?
It would be if you want a companion down the pub to talk about last
night's TV, etc, I suppose.
