You're so effing weird Britain!
"The Royal Navy is ending its century-old tradition of having Chinese servants on warships amid fears that they could be forced to spy for Beijing.
Hundreds of Chinese laundrymen have worked on Britain’s warships since the 1930s, with most hired from Hong Kong to wash and press sailor’s uniforms and officers’ white tablecloths."

Clowning on the British Empire is serious posting business. 🇺🇸 🤠
Navy News, Sept 1991:
"Is it not time that we dispensed with the archaic practice of employing Chinese laundrymen?"
"[Perhaps we should employ female sailors], my wife has always done an excellent job with my laundry."
