Friday Foxer #175

Every Friday, Tally-Ho Corner’s cleverest clogs come together to solve a ‘foxer’ handcrafted by my sadistic chum and colleague, Roman. A complete ‘defoxing’ sometimes takes several days and usually involves the little grey cells of many readers. All are welcome to participate.

Below is a list of ‘33 Things Wot You Might Find In, On, Or Attached To An Ocean Liner Or Cruise Ship’ (‘things’ is used in its broadest possible sense). Entries have been stripped of vowels and have had any inter-word spaces repositioned*. For example, if Joseph Bruce Ismay was present he might appear as JS PHB RCSMY. Funnel would be FNNL.

* Apostrophes are ignored and hyphens are treated as spaces
