PS Did a round trip home from S'hampton to Oz on the immigrant ship 'New Australia' in 1951 and the only way they could get their full compliment of crew they cleaned out the Belfast Pool. I looked after the chief steward in the main entrance vestibule. We hit a gale in Biscay and the passengers were coming up in droves from the bowels of the ship and a bunch of stewards with buckets and mops trying to catch the vomit in the bucket and as each got a direct hit they'd shout an applause.
At Port Melbourne most shot through to the nearest boozer and as the ship was blowing it's hooter they all streamed back fighting amongst themselves. I remember one fella had only a thumb on one hand but he went for the face with considerable effect. RQ

Re: Scouse Invention.
Slight change of subject but effecting Liverpool, in our news today police chief admits it was he who opened the gates at Hillsborough and not the fans.
