He lures the girls down from Aberdeen saying the Whale factory ships are back in business and in the Tyne. As regards Capt. Kong he still talks about it as spent one night South of the river and is still seeing his doctor. The trawlers that do get into North Shields these days are all flying the Panamanian flag, and manned by Brazillians who try to slip few pirrahna in here and there. As regards the smell you always get this with Southerly winds, something to do with the public toilets in South Shields market square. Cheers enjoy your fish and chips. John S
