John, He is or was as scouse as you can get mate, Jimmy and his brother Ernie Turton where very well known seaman on Merseyside and a fairer bosun you would never meet. I remember signing on the Kano Palm and after finding my boat and fire stations where called to the mess room to cut the deck of cards for your watch, I ended up on the 12 2 4 with the second mate when Jimmy wrote my name in his book he asked was i related to Billy with the same surname, Yea he is one of my uncles, Jimmy was a very good friend of his and i never looked back aboard that ship me and Jimmy got on like a house on fire Terry.
