You crew members must have liked you Harry, or they would have used you as bait!

Harry was probably the Bosun Norm,and kept them in order with the knotted rope.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Dave I would say more ballast than Bosun I was the only non family member
and certainly the most inexperienced, but the money was good.
thanks harry, long retired.

I enjoy watching programs about Trawlers etc on TV Harry,but that’s about as much as I would want to see of it.You have to be a special breed to stick that or born into it.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Dave it’s a bit like Ice Road Truckers it’s made to look a lot more hazardous than it
really is, don’t believe everything you see on the telly, you need a couple of trips
under your belt to find your sea-legs but when found the jobs a good-un. If I’d had
the opportunity of a permanent job in those days driving wouldn’t have got a look
in there was no comparison in earnings I was making more in a week than a driver
could make in a month.
thanks harry, long retired.

I think all these reality TV programs are the same Harry.They like to make them more dramatic than what they really are.
As for lorry driving,for me lorry driving is still what I would be doing.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Maybe “Old Norm” will be the entertainment when we finally embark on his cruise,
what with his “choral effort’s” and his “sand dancing” should be a good “do”.

Oh no my wife said I’m tone deaf. , if I got three wishes, the first one would be to play instruments and sing to them in a rich tenor’s. Voice. My second wish would be,to always. Have the right amount
of money in my bank account for whatever I needed to buy. Third would be to keep healthy virile and handsome until I was due in heaven, to get my w ings.

Well Dave, perhaps I can tell you the reason why! It’s because I am the shy & retiring type.

Yuk yuk, I thought that might bring a few old codgers out , giving a few rye remarks about a poor frail old gent, who happened to be a knight of the road, since due to old age and poor health has slipped quietly into stagnation.

I’ve seen a few Boiler suits in my time that resembled “heavily tarnished armour” and they could have probably been able to withstand a serious attack as well !! Cheers Dennis.
