Peter Rhodes on nicking narrowboats, VIP visits to disaster and the return of the Bard

IF you're hungry, thirsty, cold and wet and living in terror of looters in some storm-ravaged outpost of Empire in the Caribbean, what is absolutely the last thing you need? Dead right - Boris Johnson. And although the British troops accompanying the Foreign Secretary smile dutifully for the cameras, if you speak privately to any soldier or officer, they'll tell you that nothing cocks-up a carefully-planned relief mission quite like a VIP visit. The Morse code message from the Caribbean was not so much SOS as BOB. I bet you can decode that.
