    Default Off for a week

    Sunday

    I am off to Sunny Fleetwood
    in the rain again
    I like to go to Fleetwood
    Its better than France or Spain

    I can see the ships go sailing past
    bound for Douglas and Belfast
    and watch the sun set on Morecambe Bay
    at the end of a perfect day.

    And the Beautiful Sights!

    Oh that you love best!

    #1 Brian , may of asked you this before, have you any connections with Reggie Asplin, he was a chief Steward I sailed with. He had been an officers batman in the British Army during the war. He was friends with Danny La Rue, and after the war they put on a Vaudeville act together called Soldiers in Skirts . Ran for some time at the old Empire Theatre in Newcastle. JS...

    i ll soon be off to the bonny tyne
    in old shields i will roam
    down the pier one mile long
    i feel that im back home
    the longest beach within my reach
    the curry shops galore
    to see old mates but sadly ..most have gone before
    happily on a brighter note
    i ll truly have a wish ...
    a whopping bleedin haddock jumping on my dish ...

    Fisherman's Friends are indeed made there, but beware, do not get caught sucking one as you will end up in court
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Life is too short to blend in.

    Talking Re: Off for a week

    A Skipper from Fleetwood called Brian
    Set a course North North West for Cairnryan.
    Halfway up the coast to his Mate he did boast
    "Feck knows where we are-but I'm trying!"

    The Mate ,a jolly young man from Knott End
    Said "Skip,don't worry let's pretend
    we know where we are now we've got this far
    Cheer up have a Fisherman's Friend!"

    Sorry Brian .Best I could do.Thought you'd like the Knott End connexion.

    Happy Holiday.Don't forget your Fleetwood mac-and I don't mean your CD's!
