Lucky Hughs?

On 8th August 1820, a picnic boat capsized on the Thames - there was one survivor - Hugh Williams.
On 10th July 1940, a British trawler was destroyed by a German mine - only two men survived, one man and his nephew - they were both called Hugh Williams.

The lessons from this tale?
Half of Wales are called Hugh Williams.
(The other half have wooly coats)
Don't go on a ship with anyone called Hugh Williams, the Office of National Statistics says it's not a good idea
