I've asked my lovely bit Twixters. It's me, Kate Lister. I am here with Yees Fair Doos Warning.

Why am I talking like that? Well, you might have guessed we're actually talking about pirates

today, so you have got a piratey Fair Doos Warning. And I've just said that now. I've no idea

what a pirate's Fair Doos Warning would actually sound like. So let's just go for the regular one.

This is an adult podcast spoken by adults to other adults in an adulty way, and you should be

an adult as well. We are talking about pirates and all things piratey, which is a lot of fun,

but does inevitably stray into topics around murder, kidnapping, arson, looting, all the kind of

things that you think the pirates get up to. And it's actually quite violent. So you might not

want to listen to that this morning. You might just want to be on your merry way and leave the rest

of the landlubbers and swashbucklers to get on with this episode. You have been warned.

If you've watched the Pirates of the Caribbean films, you'll know there is something called

the Pirates Code. And this is actually something that crops up in a lot of films about pirates,

but according to Elizabeth Swan in Pirates of the Caribbean, it's the code that was set down by

the Pirates Morgan and Bartholomew. And one of the things that it says they have to do is take

a prisoner to their captain. And those who fall behind stay behind. A good rule for pirates and

also when you're out drinking with your mates as well, you can implement that one. Better off

for everyone I'm telling you. But was there really a pirate code? Was that ever such a thing?

Did it really begin an ending parlay? Well it turned out that there is a whole lot more to

life on a pirate ship than rules set down by Morgan and Bartholomew parlay and take me to your

captain because pirate ships were a proper business and have to be run like a business.

And today, the Twix the Sales, we are going to find out more. Let's do this.

What do you have for a man? Oh, money of course. You're supposed to rise when an adult speaks to you.
