    ###there was a weekly report in the shields gazette in the 50s and 60s by a reporter named john llandells .....its title was ..I COVER THE WATERFRONT ......giving details of comings goings and happenings on the tyne .....it was a good read with ref to ships just signed on and other goings on .....i think it disappeared when the ships started to dry up ..then another guy came on but he was not of the same ilk and it soon petered out ....if i recall he was an ex collier man .......regards cappy

    There you go Cappy nothing wrong with my memory, only thing I have to remember now is what I had for breakfast this morning, don’t want to miss out having not had any. There was another bloke who wrote for the paper in Shields called Alan Medd a professional third mate. Used to write under the name of the Happy Wanderer. Was going to publish a picture of me in Oxelusund in Sweden on New Year’s Eve looking cross eyed into the camera. Told him if he published would sue him for defamation of character . He was 64 at the time and this was in 1964 so that would make him 118 years of age today so he can’t sue me for similar accusations. Cheers JWS

    Not the Liverpool I remember! Those beautiful clean buildings which used to be black in the days when pollution didn't matter.

    Look at the Liver Building of my memory.

    Yes I remember the pollution,we would go to the pool in the morning wearing white shirt and tie and have a few pints in town.If you were going out that night you had to change that shirt that you had put on clean in the morning as the collar and cuffs would be black,happy days.Get a couple of weeks out of a shirt now LOL.

    This is not the Liverpool that I remember! All those beautiful clean buildings.
    In my day pollution didn't matter, see the Liver Building in the background of the photo, BLACK. Much better now.Clan Macfadyen.jpg

    20180928_133111.jpg This was about 10 days ago, don't forget the Liver Building is not Portland Stone!!

    I know which era I prefer, the Clan boat is a proper job.
